MARS got a BANANAS Northern Polar Ice Cap.

Mars!

TRAVELLING TO MARS would GODDAMN KILL US with RADIATION right now.

Mars.

Jesus Christ, ain’t this a downer. With current technology, the amount of radiation our asses would absorb on the way to Mars would prove pretty fucking terminal. Don’t let that shit get you down though! Just another hurdle to cross.

Swoon.
