"Visualizing the Accumulation of Space Debris on Mars"

A map reveals over seven tonnes of debris left on Mars by human missions, including parachutes, heat shields, and broken equipment. Despite the failed missions, ongoing efforts by rovers like Nasa's Curiosity and Perseverance aim to uncover signs of past life on the Red Planet. As space exploration continues, the balance between scientific discovery and environmental impact must be considered for future missions, with sustainability in mind.
