Given the dangers, one would think we might focus more and saving the environment here on Earth. Clearly, we need to.<\/p>\n<p>However, Elon Musk has said he is determined to voyage to the Red Planet by 2026, despite the dangers. One day, he hopes to establish a self-sustaining Martian civilization.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tuned In to Mars<\/h2>\n<p>Many species on Earth have the instinctual urge to return to their birthplace. To get there, they are capable of extraordinary feats of navigation and endurance.<\/p>\n<p>According to ancient astronaut theorists, life on Earth may have originated on Mars billions of years ago. Now, we are hardwired to want to go back, even in its current desolate form. Although things look bleak, nothing will stop us from getting to Mars.<\/p>\n<p>Some\u00a0<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.planetary.org\/articles\/can-we-make-mars-earth-like-through-terraforming?autologin=true&amp;s_src=downlink&amp;s_subsrc=20210423&amp;utm_source=fark&amp;utm_medium=website&amp;utm_content=link&amp;ICID=ref_fark\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">4 billion years ago,<\/a>\u00a0Mars was more Earth-like, but it lost its magnetic field for unknown reasons. Then, the solar winds stripped the planet of its atmosphere. To escape, perhaps life traveled to Earth or seeded life via organic molecules on Martian meteorites.<\/p>\n<p>Remarkably, there might be a physiological sign that Mars could be our original homeworld.\u00a0<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cWhen astronauts actually go into space, their circadian rhythms, their body clocks change from 24 hour days to a 24.9 hour day; and that happens to be the exact rotational period of a single day on Mars,\u201d says the author Michael Bara.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Thus, Bara suggests it\u2019s evidence humans going to Mars may be returning there after thousands of years.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Notably, in many people, the circadian rhythm is closer to\u00a0<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/news.harvard.edu\/gazette\/story\/1999\/07\/human-biological-clock-set-back-an-hour\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">24 hours, 11 minutes<\/a>.

A few months ago, Haim Eshed, the Israeli space security chief for 30 years, claimed a secret underground base on Mars exists. There, American astronauts and ETs work together and have for years.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, mainstream media may dismiss Eshed as crazy immediately, but we remain open-minded. After all, mainstream news is now routinely <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ancient-code.com\/opening-up-a-can-of-wormholes-into-unexplained-phenomena\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">reporting on authentic UFOs.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Long, Ago, Eshed claims that the US government\u00a0<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ancient-code.com\/did-a-galactic-federation-ask-trump-not-to-reveal-extraterrestrials\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">signed an agreement\u00a0<\/a>with extraterrestrials. If so, it might coincide with the stories about\u00a0<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ancient-code.com\/former-pentagon-consultant-claims-president-eisenhower-had-3-secret-meetings-with-aliens\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">President Eisenhower\u00a0<\/a>in the mid-50s. According to Philip Schneider, a structural engineer with a\u00a0<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.discovery.com\/exploration\/Secret-Underground-Alien-Base-Dulce-New-Mexico\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">high-level security clearance,<\/a>\u00a0Eisenhower made a pact with three\u00a0<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ancient-code.com\/experts-claim-there-are-3-hostile-alien-species-visiting-earth\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">alien species.<\/a>\u00a0(Schneider later died under highly suspicious circumstances.)\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Regardless of whether these stories are true or not, a Martian base is inevitable. According to Nick Pope, former UFO investigator for the\u00a0<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/future\/article\/20160322-my-time-as-a-ufo-investigator-for-the-government\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">UK Ministry of Defence<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cI think the next few years are going to be absolutely pivotal in Mars research.

Similar tunnels on the Moon may also serve as protection from radiation. Perhaps, astronauts may find life is already taking shelter there? If not American astronauts and ETs, then more likely, some extraterrestrial extremophile microbes.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A ( Deadly) Voyage to Mars<\/h2>\n<p>Today, NASA is partnered with SpaceX, which beat out two other private companies to win a\u00a0<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.businessinsider.com\/spacex-elon-musk-nasa-lunar-landing-astronauts-2021-4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">$2.89 billion contract<\/a>\u00a0to get astronauts to the Moon.

Then, the radiation created would escape into space, he suggests.?<\/p>\n<p>One almost sees a pattern of recklessness.<\/p>\n<p>Otherwise, scientists have ideas to redirect comets or asteroids to hit Mars. So, maybe it\u2019s not so crazy? For ancient astronaut theorists, such an idea may have been carried out by extraterrestrials in Earth\u2019s past.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In short, Mars\u2019 current state is the opposite of Earth today. While we have too much carbon dioxide due to our activities, the Red Planet doesn\u2019t have nearly enough to create beneficial global warming. It\u2019s too bad we can\u2019t export our excess CO2 to Mars, though it still wouldn\u2019t be nearly enough.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Currently, NASA\u2019s Perseverance Rover\u2019s\u00a0<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/mars.nasa.gov\/mars2020\/spacecraft\/instruments\/moxie\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">MOXIE\u00a0<\/a>experiment aims to change what little CO2 there is on Mars to oxygen. Since the amount would be so small, a more feasible plan may be to export oxygen-creating extremophile microorganisms from Earth. Some 2.5 billion years ago, it was similar cyanobacteria that created our oxygen-rich atmosphere.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, NASA determined in 1976 that using microorganisms to create a breathable atmosphere might take thousands of years. Moreover, since Mars has lost its magnetic field, it would be a lost cause anyway.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, the first problem is fixing Mar\u2019s magnetic field. But how?<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Mar\u2019s Magnetic Field<\/h2>\n<p>Interestingly, according to\u00a0<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.planetary.org\/articles\/can-we-make-mars-earth-like-through-terraforming?autologin=true&amp;s_src=downlink&amp;s_subsrc=20210423&amp;utm_source=fark&amp;utm_medium=website&amp;utm_content=link&amp;ICID=ref_fark\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>the Planetary Society:<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cWhile we don\u2019t have the technology to churn the core of a planet faster to revive its magnetic field, NASA\u2019s Chief Scientist Dr. Jim Green and his colleagues have theorized that\u00a0<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hou.usra.edu\/meetings\/V2050\/pdf\/8250.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">a magnetic field placed at point called L1<\/a>\u00a0between the Sun and Mars, where their gravities roughly cancel out, could in theory encompass Mars and protect it from the solar wind.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Currently, Green says scientists can already place a weak field at the stable Sun-Mars L1 Lagrange point. (<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/livestream.com\/viewnow\/vision2050\/videos\/150701155\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">2,000 Gauss<\/a>) So, if they can figure out how to make the magnetic field stronger ( more like 10,000 Gauss), it could work.<\/p>\n<p>Again, talk about saving the Martian atmosphere harkens back to the ancient astronaut theory. To save the atmosphere on their home planet, the Anunnaki came to Earth to\u00a0<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ancient-code.com\/scientists-have-unlocked-the-power-of-gold-atoms-but-is-this-technology-new-or-ancient\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">mine for gold.\u00a0<\/a>Then, they used the gold in some unknown way to protect their atmosphere. Perhaps, they were creating a protective magnetic field? Maybe it\u2019s not so far-fetched after all?<\/p>\n<p>See more about Lagrange points from\u00a0<em>Spacedock<\/em><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Martians Returning Home<\/h2>\n<p>If all went well, then Mars might become more Earth-like again. However, due to the lower gravity, conditions would likely be similar to living in the Himalayan mountains. Think: cold with thin, oxygen-low air.<\/p>\n<p>Interestingly, there are signs of <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ancient-code.com\/archaeologists-india-find-evidence-previously-unknown-civilization\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">lost ancient cultures<\/a>\u00a0in the Himalayas here on Earth. Likewise, Martian conditions in the higher <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ancient-code.com\/ufo-from-chile\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">altitudes of Chile<\/a> seem to coincide with frequent UFO reports.<\/p>\n<p>Maybe, just maybe, the ETs found conditions there just perfect.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Considering everything, it seems like a better bet to restore the environment here on the Blue Planet before we head on over to the Red one. Nevertheless, seeing astronauts on Mars seems inevitable in our quest to find other life in the universe.<\/p>\n<p>As when we arrived on the Moon, humans will become the extraterrestrials, if not Martians returning home.\u00a0<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\">\n<p><em>Featured image: Screenshot via <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=YWbDXqzsMZo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">YouTube<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ancient-code.com\/the-obsession-with-mars-is-it-our-ancestral-home-planet\/\" target=\"_blank\">Go to Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\n<p>YouTube Video Here: https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/YWbDXqzsMZo?feature=oembed&amp;enablejsapi=1<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>This year, Mars has been in the headlines as NASA, world governments, SpaceX, and billionaires focus on arriving on the Red Planet.
