Sacred Space: Mars Mission


Mars is there, waiting to be reached.

Buzz Aldrin



We can come up with a working definition of life, which is what we did for the Viking mission to Mars. We said we could think in terms of a large molecule made up of carbon compounds that can replicate, or make copies of itself, and metabolise food and energy. So that’s the thought: macrocolecule, metabolism, replication.

Cyril Ponnamperuma



Mars is the only place in the solar system where it's possible for life to become multi-planetarian.

Elon Musk



We are all...children of this universe. Not just Earth, or Mars, or this system, but the whole grand fireworks. And if we are interested in mars at all, it is only because we wonder over our past and worry terribly about our possible future…However, it's not going to do any good to land on Mars if we're stupid.

Ray Bradbury
