Mars One

We were honored to attend today's #moon2mars event at @nasakennedy. NASA Administrator @JimBridenstine discussed the future of Mars 2020 (spoiler alert: Mars Helicopters). "The moon is the proving ground. Mars is the horizon goal." Watch the video: mars.social/jyye7s

New photos from the ESA's Mars Express orbiter have provided stunning visuals of the ice-brimming Korolev crater. Via: mars.social/000w9g

A 950-mile-long cloud was spotted above Mars by @ESA Mars Express camera. Plumes like this aren't uncommon on Mars, but this one has stuck around longer than most. It's been holding its post near the Arsia Mons volcano 🌋 since October 10th! Via: mars.social/4g5ybf

There was a lot of speculation about where @NASA would choose to land the upcoming Mars 2020 rover. The decision is in, and the geologically-rich Jezero Crater looks to be the clear winner! Via: mars.social/dt4w3c

#OnThisDay in 1971 @NASA Mariner 9 spacecraft entered Martian orbit, making it the first spacecraft to orbit another planet! The mission mapped 85% of the Martian surface, breathing new life into mankind's ancient fascination with the red planet.

Mars One CEO Bas Lansdorp recently spoke with Azania Mosaka on 702 about the importance and challenges of colonizing Mars. Listen to the full interview at: mars.social/awmv4m

Getting to sneak a peak inside NASA's Rotation Processing Surge Facility and Vehicle Assembly Building was an amazing experience! These are active pieces of history, used during the days of the Space Shuttle program, and they will be used again for EM-1 missions. #NASASocial

The Veggie Plant Growth Facility is where NASA is working toward the crucial goal of growing food in low or no gravity environments. The lab is currently growing Zinnia from seeds harvested on the ISS from Scott Kelly's plant! #NASASocial

A huge thanks to NASA for inviting us out for their #NasaSocial event! Our first stop was touring NASA's R&D facility, Swamp Works! Here, prototypes are developed and tested in moon simulate regolith.

Could the Jezero crater be the landing location of NASA's next Mars rover? Launching in 2020, the rover may be set to explore this crater and the treasure trove of information held in its fossilized river delta. Source: mars.social/56fg1m Via @Sciencemagazine

Today is International #DayoftheGirl! This year, we wanted to thank the girls and women who study, teach, and work in STEM fields. Here's to the awesome ladies helping us find the way to Mars and beyond! To discover resources for girls in STEM, visit: mars.social/lnqb59

October 5th is World Teacher's Day! From all of us at Mars One, we are grateful to the millions of teachers inspiring future generations to reach for the stars (and Mars)!

#WorldSpaceWeek begins October 4th! There are thousands of events worldwide and this years theme is something Mars One can really get behind: Space Unites the World! Visit mars.social/84g1js for more info or to find an event near you. #WSW2018 Via @worldspaceweek

NASA still hasn't received a response from the dormant Mars Rover, Opportunity, but new images of the surface have at least provided a bird's-eye view of the silent rover. Via: mars.social/pns2qi

On this day in 2014 the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO)'s Mangalyaan Mars Orbiter Mission (MOM) was successfully inserted into Martian orbit. The orbiter has been operational for over 1,000 sols and has sent back hundreds of images to Earth. Thanks, MOM!

Our fans never cease to inspire us! Mars One fan @pamposhkaushik recently summited the Pin Bhaba Pass in Himachal Pradesh, India. Pictured here: Pamposh and his expedition leader showing Mars One pride at an altitude of over 16,000 feet (nearly 5,000 meters)!

Mars is looking as gorgeous as ever in its close-up! Seen here enveloped in dust from the massive, global dust storm which continues to rage on across the Martian surface. Original article: mars.social/0h2q9p

Mars One supporter Pamposh recently summited the Kanamo Peak in India, and he brought us along! Pictured here: Pamposh and Mars One at an elevation of nearly 6,000 meters (over 19,600 feet)! Next stop, Olympus Mons? Thanks for sharing, @pamposhkaushik
