Perseverance Finds Human Trash on Mars

The exploration vehicle called Perseverance, which the US National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) landed on Mars in 2021, found something unexpected on the surface of Mars. The confusing discovery is worrying as it shows how space has become a human garbage dump. Let’s take a look at this interesting event together.

Perseverance, working on Mars, found remains of thermal blankets developed to protect spacecraft, about 2 kilometers from the landing site. On his forehead, this material was also found in Perseverance. The official statement said, “It’s amazing to find this here. Did this piece come here during the descent or did the wind carry it here?” statements were included. In fact, it’s not even clear whether the thermal blanket piece belongs to Perseverance.

Here is the man-made garbage detected on Mars

The helicopter named Ingenuity, which went to Mars with Perseverance, during a study it carried out in the past months, he had also photographed the litter of materials that enabled Perseverance to land. The latest development suggests that this garbage may disperse over time. With this; It should not be forgotten that the remnants of spacecraft launched from our planet may have glided hundreds of millions of kilometers and reached Mars.

To be honest, Earth orbit has already become a big dump. The remnants of the launched spacecraft and the satellites, which are now inactive because they are damaged or have completed their life, have made it more difficult to leave the Earth. Although the Outer Space Treaty, signed in 1967, tries to prevent space from becoming a garbage dump, it doesn’t do much. Humanity, which has polluted the world enough, now has its eyes on space…
