Astronaut playing golf on Mars
Astronaut playing golf on Mars, computer artwork. This would be similar to the famous golf shot played by Alan Shepard on the Moon on 31 January 1971. Martian gravity is about a third of that on Earth. The Martian atmosphere is mostly carbon dioxide and surface temperatures are well below freezing as Mars is much further from the Sun than the Earth. Martian astronauts will have to breathe their own air supply and wear heated spacesuits on the surface of Mars. Mars is a rocky desert world and has no surface water. The red-orange colour of the Martian rocks is due to a high iron oxide content. There are plans to send manned expeditions to Mars during the 21st century

EDITORS COMMENTS
This computer artwork showcases an astronaut playing golf on the barren surface of Mars, reminiscent of Alan Shepard's iconic golf shot on the Moon in 1971. With Martian gravity only a third of that on Earth, this extraterrestrial golfer experiences a unique sporting challenge. The frigid temperatures and carbon dioxide-rich atmosphere make it essential for Martian astronauts to rely on their own air supply and don heated spacesuits for protection. As depicted in this illustration, the rocky desert landscape of Mars lacks any surface water, presenting an otherworldly backdrop for this extraordinary activity. The red-orange hue of the Martian rocks is attributed to their high iron oxide content, adding a striking visual element to this futuristic scene. This image not only highlights human exploration and technological advancements but also emphasizes the immense challenges faced by potential manned expeditions to Mars during the 21st century. It serves as a reminder that future space missions will require innovative equipment and protective measures to ensure survival in such lifeless environments. Science Photo Library presents us with an imaginative glimpse into what could be possible within our solar system. This thought-provoking artwork invites us to ponder how sports can transcend earthly boundaries and inspire new frontiers of discovery.
