Humanity also polluted Mars, where it did not go: Here is the Red Planet garbage map!

Humanity’s adventure with space has been continuing for many years. Especially in the last hundred years, many projects have been organized to orbit the Earth, the Moon and Mars. These missions allowed us to obtain a lot of information about space. However, during this process, a lot of waste remained in space.

Justin Holcomb: “Save Mars from garbage!”

Earth’s orbit has hosted many satellites, especially in the last 50 years. Many countries and space companies have placed satellites into orbit to realize their projects. When we look at the used and unused satellites, space has turned into a garbage heap.

Many projects aimed at cleaning garbage in Earth orbit are currently under study. However, humankind has begun to pollute places it has not yet set foot on. Mars seems to have had its share when it comes to garbage.

As it is known, Mars is one of the planets that humanity is most curious about. So much so that many studies have been carried out to satisfy this curiosity. Many projects have been carried out since 1971, when the Soviet Union’s Mars 2 spacecraft made a hard landing on the Red Planet. These projects have now begun to create garbage deposits on the surface of Mars.

A group of anthropologists led by University of Kansas researcher Justin Holcomb appealed to NASA and other space agencies. He stated that Mars, which is 225 million kilometers away and has never been set foot on, has started to accumulate garbage and a new project should be carried out to clean it. Not content with this, the group also published a map showing the location of the garbage known to have been left behind by 14 projects carried out on the planet Mars.
