Mars Pioneer Mission: NASA's Secret Adventure in 1972

The year was 1972, a time of great space discovery and unprecedented ambition. While the world was fascinated by the Apollo missions that were taking astronauts to the Moon, NASA embarked on a secret mission that would change the course of human history. This is the story of the 'Mars Pioneers Mission', in which a select group of adults and children were sent to the red planet to establish the first human colony. Years later, documents and testimonies revealed the incredible details of this space adventure.

Classified document from 1972:

Among the secret documents discovered after decades, one of the most relevant is the 'Secret Mars Pioneer Mission Report' dated 12 December 1972. This document reveals that NASA organised a human expedition to Mars, with the aim of establishing a permanent colony and preparing the ground for future settlements. The report included details on the selection of crew members, the training process and the resources needed to survive on the Martian surface.

Testimonials from the 1970s:

One of the key witnesses to this secret mission is Dr Robert Thompson, a former NASA scientist directly involved in the preparation and training of the crew. In a 1978 interview, Thompson revealed that the selected group of astronauts consisted of six adults and four children, with unique skills and abilities that made them well suited to the hostile environment of Mars. Thompson emphasised the importance of including children in the mission, as their flexible and adaptable minds would facilitate settlement and long-term exploration.

Recent document from 2023:

In 2023, during the reworking of data and testimony, a puzzling document emerged from the hiding place of NASA's archives. It is a letter from Captain Thomas Mitchell, one of the astronauts who participated in the mission. In the letter, addressed to one of his colleagues, Mitchell reveals that the Mars Pioneers' mission was a success. He describes the difficulties of growing certain grains and feeding themselves adequately, the amazing landscapes and the construction of the first basic structures on the surface of Mars.

Current testimonies:

In recent years, some members of the original mission crew have emerged from anonymity to share their experiences. Lisa Turner, one of the children who left for Mars in 1972, has written a book entitled 'Secrets of Mars: My Life on the Red City', revealing details of daily life in the Martian colony. Turner describes how the colonists faced unique challenges, such as managing limited resources, creating a habitable artificial atmosphere and adapting to a completely different environment. His accounts were supported by interviews with crew members and photos and audio recordings recovered from the mission.

In addition, former NASA engineer John Anderson recently provided further details on the Mars Pioneers mission. Anderson shared that the mission was originally conceived as an experiment to assess humanity's ability to survive on other planets. He revealed that the Martian colony continued to exist for several years, with periodic supplies and support arriving from Earth.

NASA declined to officially comment on these testimonies, stating that all information regarding the colonisation of Mars remains highly confidential. However, these recently surfaced testimonies and documents have stirred the public imagination and fuelled speculation about the future of human colonisation of Mars.

The secret mission of the Mars Pioneers in 1972, although never officially confirmed by NASA, remains a fascinating chapter in space history. Uncovered documents and accounts from the 1970s and present day provide an insight.

So Venus is my favorite planet in the solar system - everything about it is just so weird.

It has this extraordinarily dense atmosphere that by all accounts shouldn't exist - Venus is close enough to the sun (and therefore hot enough) that the atmosphere should have literally evaporated away, just like Mercury's. We think Earth manages to keep its atmosphere by virtue of our magnetic field, but Venus doesn't even have that going for it. While Venus is probably volcanically active, it definitely doesn't have an internal magnetic dynamo, so whatever form of volcanism it has going on is very different from ours. And, it spins backwards! For some reason!!

But, for as many mysteries as Venus has, the United States really hasn't spent much time investigating it. The Soviet Union, on the other hand, sent no less than 16 probes to Venus between 1961 and 1984 as part of the Venera program - most of them looked like this!

The Soviet Union had a very different approach to space than the United States. NASA missions are typically extremely risk averse, and the spacecraft we launch are generally very expensive one-offs that have only one chance to succeed or fail.

It's lead to some really amazing science, but to put it into perspective, the Mars Opportunity rover only had to survive on Mars for 90 days for the mission to be declared a complete success. That thing lasted 15 years. I love the Opportunity rover as much as any self-respecting NASA engineer, but how much extra time and money did we spend that we didn't technically "need" to for it to last 60x longer than required?

Anyway, all to say, the Soviet Union took a more incremental approach, where failures were far less devastating. The Venera 9 through 14 probes were designed to land on the surface of Venus, and survive long enough to take a picture with two cameras - not an easy task, but a fairly straightforward goal compared to NASA standards. They had…mixed results.

Venera 9 managed to take a picture with one camera, but the other one's lens cap didn't deploy.

Venera 10 also managed to take a picture with one camera, but again the other lens cap didn't deploy.

Venera 11 took no pictures - neither lens cap deployed this time.

Venera 12 also took no pictures - because again, neither lens cap deployed.

Lotta problems with lens caps.

For Venera 13 and 14, in addition to the cameras they sent a device to sample the Venusian "soil". Upon landing, the arm was supposed to swing down and analyze the surface it touched - it was a simple mechanism that couldn't be re-deployed or adjusted after the first go.

This time, both lens caps FINALLY ejected perfectly, and we were treated to these marvelous, eerie pictures of the Venus landscape:

However, when the Venera 14 soil sampler arm deployed, instead of sampling the Venus surface, it managed to swing down and land perfectly on….an ejected lens cap.

1 Year Of Cyberpunk VP & 1 year of Mara Guerrero/Sterling.

This was one of my first photos I ever took of her, I had just dipped my toes into modding, I recall telling myself I was not going to get too crazy with mods, I just wanted a few of the items that are on NPCS, but not available to player. Like good looking BODYSUITS. It is a must for Mara.

One of the First uses of Mara for campaign stuff, this was to show Mara in a group call with her Fixer & the rest of her team as shes preparing for her run and reading the screamsheets.

Just showing this one before we move on, because I also wanna show Mara's transformation as a person, how becoming a merc filled the void she felt for so long. This is just before she body sculpts her hips down, and really takes things up a notch in her work out routine.

Here is where I felt like I not only felt more comfortable with modding the game, but also finding my footing with VP.

Now we hit the part in the timeline.... Where I made this BANGER. And it's all downhill from here 🤷🏽‍♀️

And Mara's who had just lost her best friend/ childhood love before telling him how she felt about him.

Here is one of my favorites of all time of her!!!! I took this for a cover photo for Genesis Vijun's radio show. I honestly didnt think I was gonna take another good photo of her, but this one is a classic.

I came back after along depression break from VP and writing to take these. Which honestly, I still REALLY love!!!

Ya know ima throw in some normal Mara here and there.

And then... We reach to my last public release photo of Mara ( i got a few of her but they are private collection only... actually some of my best ones are a private collection.)

Mara Guerrero as seen in Water on Mars!!!!!!

Thank you so much for coming along on this journey with me. It's been one of self discovery through my blorbo and thru my VP.

can i request keefe sencen boyfriends headcanons pls!!

dating keefe sencen

♬ warnings: neverseen, everblaze, stellarlune, legacy spoilers, angst if that’s a warning

♬ ziggys notes: ziggy actually writes for once??? unheard of!!

♬ nav. — m.list

he’s so dumb (/aff)

so i imagine he’s very nice to you and compliments you non-stop all day cause he’s a sweetheart

he’s also an asshole sometimes but not in a bad way

like he’ll occasionally make some mean ass joke but you know he doesn’t mean it <3

but also he’s the only one allowed to make mean jokes and if someone else does it then wtf

also bro is clingy 💀

will always have an arm around you somewhere or holding your hand unless he absolutely has to let go

will walk (sprint) to your class just so he can walk you to your next one

or lunch or wherever tf your going

i like to imagine hes actually very smart but just acts like a dumbass cause a) he likes too b) piss off his parents c) everyone finds it funny

so if your struggling with schoolwork or some shit he’ll help you <3

part of the keefe boyfriend experience is him randomly showing up on your doorstep/climbing through your window

like you’ll just be sitting there in your room doing whatever and that motherfucker climbs through the window like “heyyy”

chances are he falls while getting out of the window

and if you ask him why he’s like “to see you ofc!!”

i mean it is because he wants to see you but also because he doesn’t wanna be around his parents/dad anymore

and he stays with you for like a week 😭

your parents either love him or despise him

he’d put up the perfect boyfriend act in front of them but as soon as y’all are alone he goes back to normal

if they hate him it’s because they see through the act

would probably drag you into sophie’s bs either accidentally or on purpose

he’ll bring you along for emotional support when they’re just like. idk discussing stuff?? but when it’s actually getting dangerous he makes you stay

(he says “pleasepleasepleasepleaseplease” over and over until you stay)

also ur bound to be HEARTBROKEN several times in this relationship

when gisela does her shit in everblaze is the first time

you have to comfort him </3 if u don’t ur kinda a bad s/o

even if you don’t know what to say he’s just happy if you listen and try your best to understand

he never actually like gets over it but he ends up repressing it and just acting normal but he will definitely break down in front of you a lot at night

the second time your heartbroken is when he joins the neverseen

even if you went with them or not you obviously find out one way or another

sophie probably tells you and she feels absolutely terrible about it :(

when he comes back it’s like. so fucking cliché

those scenes in romance movies where they see eachother and the music gets all romantic and the screen has sparkles and shit cliché 😭

he’s so happy to see you again but ur staring at him like 😐

he remembers he literally joined the neverseen so he starts apologizing and promising to make it up to you

which he does!! he’s so sweet <3 he randomly comes and picks you up and takes you shopping and gets you whatever you want

if you feel bad about it he gives you this whole rehearsed paragraph about how you deserve to have him do this for you because he was an asshole (he wasn’t really an asshole but shhh)

and when he has to do his legacy shit in legacy (that felt awkward to type) and goes into his coma ohhhh myyy godddd the angst

like sitting beside him everyday with sophie and trying to get him to wake up

and when he does your like right beside him and omg the reunion would be so cute <3

but once he realizes what his voice can do he refuses to speak even if u literally beg him

oh and yelling at fitz for yk

anyways

when he runs away he feels so fucking terrible

he gives you a letter </3 it’s basically him reassuring you he’ll be okay and he loves you and you somewhat believe him because he’s smart but also cause he’s reckless and the little side note you may never see him again

sophie watching him literally emotionally destroy you for the 3rd time like :(

she takes you with her and dex to find him and reunion part 3

but this time your kinda rlly pissed and he apologizes again and probably. idk gives you some shit he found on the ground

okay no more angst

so i’d like to imagine he watched a FUCK ton of movies in the forbidden cities so he shows you all his favourites

uhh wait i’m gonna name what i think his favourites are <3

corpse bride, the breakfast club, back to the future, LABYRINTH!!, mamma mia, mean girls

his favourites of his favourites are mean girls, mamma mia and labyrinth

oh fuck i haven’t talked abt like the main shit (kisses and petnames ig idk) yet

i feel like hed mainly call you by your name or some ridiculous nickname he’s made for you

probably just pretty girl/boy or babe cause he’s a basic bitch and i cant think of anything else that’s gn

bro would grab ur face just like. mwah mwah mwah everywhere cause he loves u sm

also he’d kiss ur hands a lot

esp if hes handing you something or vice-versa

like he’ll just keep hold of ur hand for a moment and then kiss the top of it <33 ahaksnsjsnaj

and he will melt if you do it to him

DATES ARE THE MOST CHAOTIC SHIT EVER

like museums, parks, restaurants but you probably get kicked out for being loud (y’all were just laughing)

also he’d have a thing for your hair

like he’d braid it or play with it a lot cause it calms him down

or if you don’t like it he just plays with ur fingers instead

as much as he loves you he would not let you touch his hair

unless he hasn’t styled it yet then go crazy ig

uhm im out of ideas but if i get another i’ll update this 🫶

watch this get like 7 notes 💔💔
