This is the Tarantula Nebula! 🕷🕸🕷🕸🕷🕸
This star forming region is so big that it is 160,000 light years across! At it’s center, there are a bunch of stars totalling 450,000 solar masses that produce the Tarantula Nebula’s high luminosity and will likely become a vibrant globular cluster. ✨✨✨

Why is the final phase so difficult?Sorry if I sound dumb,I'm just curious.Also,what will be the rover's first task after landing?

Lithium is running out on Earth. We’ve detected at most, 70 years’ worth of lithium in the crust. We have less than that much time to figure out how to mine ice asteroids containing lithium to bring back to Earth, as well as mining lithium from Mars.
Mars is a corpse of a planet and can never be revived, so it’s better to try to convert it into a mining planet - unless we figure out how to restore and repair a planet’s magnetic field and core. Mars’ core is not solid enough. It’s not worth it to even consider turning it into a New Eden for humanity. I will be spending time attempting to learn everything possibly required to even be qualified to give an opinion on astronomy, astrophysics/physics, chemistry, and environmental science. My best won’t be the best, but hey. I do what I can. If anybody knows something about trying to live without lithium and still have a society that lives with eco-pos technology to keep thriving and surviving on this miserable little ball of suffocation, please do share.
