"I hope, nobody finds these writings! If one does, it means someone
else between Earth and Mars or some other planet has been here, and God
help them if they have no way off this planet. That is to say, they'll
most likely have to face these awful solar winds and storms which you
will find out are quick and intense. They have stripped away most of
Mars' atmosphere, edged rock formations, rivers. I am the last person
left here, most of us left, escaped to earth a decade ago. Earth is
quite primitive to our race yet it is rich with life. We look more like
the Cro-Magnon, and they, well, only time will tell, I venture to say,
an earlier stage of mankind.
From my radio reports, some of our spacecraft had an emergency landing on an asteroid. What their fate will be, time will tell.
I
am Commander Mruts, I stayed behind, voluntarily, for the simple
reason-if not, then what? And someone had to man the last of Mars'
stations, and monitor what needs checking, watching, observing. Although
I get updates from Earth and the Asteroid.
They have now been
gone five years. I am writing these scrolls out, for posterity, should
anyone find them in the future. I do understand our astronauts, and
those civilians on those spacecraft's, were hurled through space, it
turned out to be a nasty trip, with a comet nearly shifting the ships
courses as it orbited by. The Asteroid, will not allow the Martians to
live much longer I am told, their supplies are down, as is their fuel,
and there appears to be no escape, or launch ability.
We call
Earth the blue planet, and Mars the red planet. At one time Mars was
shrouded in thick gases which supported our presence, and we had much
water on the surface, many rivers. Like Earth, at one time our presence
of air, I mean its content was antiquated, our Co2 level & O/O2,
level within the atmosphere was like Earth's is today ((the oxygen
within the air consisting of 21% of the atmosphere by volume) (a
diatomic gas)), today on Mars that number is less than 5% of Earth's,
and our water supply on the surface is completely frozen solid. And the
atmosphere is so thin, being removed from high, to higher altitudes
yearly, through interactions with the sun, we have built underground
abodes, which supply most of our daily survival needs.
On the
other hand, as I have been informed, Earth has a global magnetic field
that continues to operate and protect the life within its climate
system, but I suppose it could in time be altered in a very similar
manner Mars' has been. Should their moon be kicked off its orbit, or an
asteroid half the size of Pluto tumble outside its belt, sideswipe it,
and move it a foot here or there, consequently, their moon protects them
quite well from the sun, and its orbit; yet at present, makes it
favorable to light the night, and shade the day for Earth, how
fortunate, God has been gracious to the Earthlings.
On another
subject, we must mingle with the Neanderthal, which we call their
primitive race, and what will we get in the future is any man's guess.
Perhaps we'll all die out, and God will take a few of our DNA, and their
DNA, and implant them into a new kind of man! Who's to say?
Again
I stress, I hear oxygen and carbon dioxide are plentiful on Earth, this
is important as is water for the planet life overall, which keeps this
balance between mammals and vegetation and flora.
I must say,
alas, our magnetic field is crushed, so there is no coming back to Mars
other than for old time sake, and so here goes 4.5 billion years of
history, to a nearly unusable, unstable, unpredictable planet, other
than holding down a station for whatever purposes. I mean we are
50-million miles from Earth, and 43-million miles from the sun, kind of
lost in the Gobi Desert of space.
I hate going out to the surface,
hard to breath, and the temperature is above 150c at present. But
reader, do not dismay, I volunteered for this, someone had to."
Update
In
the year, 2050 A.D., the scrolls of Mars were found, during an
exploration of the planet by none other than an old space dog and his
astronaut master, Staff Sergeant Hector Hecker, of the U.S.A Independent
Space Continuum, (privately owned by Donald Frump, a billionaire), whom
was from St. Paul, Minnesota; the dog, weather-beaten went by the name
Max III; Max's great grandfather fought in the Afghanistan War, and
thus, Max III is now in the annals of Interplanetary Space Exploration.
As for the Staff Sergeant he didn't do the finding, and well, -dogs have
their rights too.
