Mars looks like Southern California in Star Trek in the 60s.

Says a lot for how much they were able to accomplish thematically with environments like that. Iconic

Ah, so Mars is socialist.

Looks like a nice day on Mars. Apart from it being -70C out.

Mmmm that's some good choss! Do you happen to know where the photo on the right was taken? My geoguessr brain wants to put a pin on Kanab, Utah

I believe it's the Atacama desert in Chile, according to a reverse image search.

Woah, cool, I never would have guessed! I should have thought to use reverse image search, haha. Thanks!

It was harder to identify than I expected, because the article I found was from Chile, and my Spanish is rusty. Lol

If you find this interesting, you would probably enjoy the Mars Guy youtube channel. Weekly updates on the latest rovings of Perseverance.

I've been to the Vasquez Rocks where that was shot. It's right by a freeway that definitely also existed in the 60s. They had to use some very creative camera work in terms of where they pointed it. It's kind of impressive.

They're gorn.
