Outline of Mars

The following outline is provided as an overview of and topical guide to Mars:

Mars – fourth planet from the Sun and the second-smallest planet in the Solar System, after Mercury. Named after the Roman god of war, it is often referred to as the "Red Planet"[1][2] because the iron oxide prevalent on its surface gives it a reddish appearance. Mars is a terrestrial planet with a thin atmosphere, having surface features reminiscent both of the impact craters of the Moon and the valleys, deserts, and polar ice caps of Earth.

Proposed missions to explore Mars
gollark: As I have previously described, the Minoteaur v7 search thing uses algorithms and coding™ to search text *semantically* and not just by keyword matching.
gollark: https://www.sbert.net/
gollark: Macron will likely *never* have the ML things I use for this, although you could probably just bind ONNX or something.
gollark: (this is not yet implemented in actual-minoteaur, I just have a prototype)
gollark: The reason Minoteaur v7 needs (or, well, benefits from) GPUs is that it uses machine learning™ algorithms for the search system.
