Hello @henrychidiebere
This is an amazing piece. First I was reluctant to read this in the morning. After getting back from church I took some time to read it it. you know why?
lol... it is because I love to read about Space.
it is usually very exciting.
Mars exploration is on our bucket list for many purpose...exploration, life, mineral resources, second home for humans and even tourist attractions.
one of the many reasons for our exploration is to satisfy our curiosity. There are many factors. However, one of it at the forefront is our survival. I have no doubt that the human race will not go extinct even in a billion years.
But scientists predicts that our galaxy is moving towards the Andromeda galaxy and once it gets too close to this galaxy our dormant super-massive black-hole that lies in the heart of our galaxy will be activated. Once it does, it will feed on all the matter in the entire galaxy. so to say, they estimate the end of the human race in 14 billion years time.
Once again fam this is great.
Cheers
I'm really happy you read with interest. I am a big fan of planetary science and engineering too and i am happy to share my own token. thanks for stopping by.
