The main discovery of the American rover Curiosity is that the landscapes of the Red Planet are very similar to those of Kazakhstan!
Kaznet users are unanimous - they didn't have to fly anywhere. In particular, Kazakhstanis are sure that Gale Crater is a complete copy of the road to the Charyn Canyon. And to some, the valleys of Mars resemble the foothills of the Karatau in early spring.
NASA recently came up with a new trick and made panoramic photos of the Red Planet publicly available. Now Internet users can see the Martian landscapes in full detail. By the way, Mars is not always red.
For example, in the morning, the sky above this planet plays with 50 shades of light gray. But after dust storms, there are often fogs on Mars, which really have a reddish-ash hue.
By the way, one of the Martian craters is named Tyuratam in honor of the station near Baikonur. And academician Vasily Fesenkov, as EK already wrote, gave the Turkic name Bolshoy Syrt to the largest crater of the Red Planet the size of Germany.
By the middle of the XXI century, mankind plans to visit Mars and colonize it.
