If you haven't heard, 2020 is the "Year of Mars." America, Europe, Russia, and China will all be launching spacecrafts this month heading for the Red Planet. Apparently, Mars will be closest to Earth this year at the end of July. Reports state that if the launchings fail and the window is missed, new launching will have to wait until 2022. The goal of the space mission is to carry rover bots to Mars and have the bots collect samples and of course, "look for signs of life."
NASA and other media reports claim that the bots should make it to their destination by March of 2021.
All of this sounds great, but one must wonder where all of this focus on Mars comes from. As recent as 2019, most officials were denouncing the idea of more missions to Mars, especially considering we already, supposedly, have multiple rovers there. Many public officials, including President Trump, openly expressed their reluctance to pay for these costly projects that were hard to justify the benefits of. President Trump even went as far as to cut NASA's massive budget, twice, but these attempts would eventually be overturned by Congress.
A year later and President Trump is now asking for NASA's budget be increased specifically to pay for Mars missions and here it is 2020 and there will be no less than four launchings to Mars. Interesting.
Now, I'm not saying something nefarious is happening, but I do think that it's strange that in the span of one year, which is an extremely short amount of time in government years, that missions to Mars went from being a running joke to being the number one goal.
Now, I may not subscribe to all the theories floating around out there, but the ones about NASA are perhaps the most pervasive and fascinating to read and research about. Most conspiracy theorist believe the NASA is faking their missions or that if they are going to Mars, there something going on up there besides rovers collecting rocks. I don't know what's happening up there but I do know that the pictures they have of Mars and the rover do seem extremely fake.
Here are some of the real life Mars photos;
So, one must ask, if these missions to Mars are indeed fake, then why all the launches? What are they actually launching into space, if not million dollar rover bots? If they're not even launching, then why put on the spectacle? What's the point?
Here's what I do know. 2020 has been a bizarre year and I have sneaky suspicion that worst is yet to come for this year, especially for the end of July. Don't say you weren't warned, but perhaps these launches are a prelude for something else
Or maybe those bastards know something terrible is about to go down and they're leaving us here to face it on our own. Maybe we're just too poor to buy a ticket to Mars and will be left to die here on planet Earth. Who knows.
