The Americans are keen to win to race to send human beings to Mars. In 1992, the new boss of NASA, Dan Goldin, called on the American people to be the first to send explorers to another planet in the solar system. He reminded them of the symbolic gift carried to the moon and back by the Apollo 11 mission. It bears a message intended for the crew of the first spaceship to visit Mars. Goldin thinks it is time to begin the preparations for this historic journey. His speech echoed the words of the President, who promised that in 2019, 50 years after Neil Armstrong was the first man to set foot on the Moon, the first astronaut would stand on Mars.

Until humans walk on the red deserts of Mars, we will not be able to determine the history of this frozen world to any detail.
