For thousands of years, humans have obsessed over Mars from afar. At first, maybe it was the fact that Mars stands out in the night sky because of its reddish color. But as we learned more about Mars and the conditions there, it was the possibility of life on this distant planet that captured our collective imagination. At its closest, Mars is nearly 40 million miles away from Earth — and we’ve tried for centuries to bridge that distance, using everything from telescopes to flybys and probes. Mars has inspired wild fantasies about distant civilizations and little green men. It’s put a spell on many observers, who hope to unlock its mysteries. On this special episode of The Pulse, we explore what we are learning about Mars, and when we can expect to actually see humans set foot on the red planet.
Also heard on this week’s episode:
Derrick Pitts, chief astronomer at the Franklin Institute in Philadelphia, talks about our attempts to get closer and closer to the red planet, the important work that’s being done by the Mars rovers, and what it would take to land humans on Mars.
Some people called it the next great leap in space exploration — others, a suicide mission. But for Dan Carey and Leila Zucker, Mars One was a dream come true. Spearheaded by a Dutch company, Mars One aimed to land ordinary people on Mars by the year 2023, where they’d start the red planet’s first human colony. There was just one catch — it was a one-way trip … and survival was not guaranteed. Reporter Liz Tung talks with Carey and Zucker about what made them want to leave their lives on Earth, and start new ones on Mars.
We talk with science historian Jordan Bimm about “Mars jars” and the group of exobiologists — scientists who study extraterrestrial biology — who spearheaded early research about life on Mars.

Video: Sound of Martian Dust Devil Recorded for the First Time December 14, 2022
By Tim Binnall
For the first-time ever, NASA has recorded the sound of a Martian dust devil as the swirling vortex of tiny particles swept over the space agency's Perseverance rover. The historic piece of audio, reportedly captured in September of last year, was unveiled this week in a scientific paper detailing the insights that researchers were able to glean from the incident. In a testament to the tremendous capabilities of Perseverance, the rover not only picked up the audio by way of its microphone, but its instruments also took pictures of the dust devil and measured the temperature and air pressure during the moment that it crossed paths with the whirlwind.
While the audio recording, which can be heard above, may sound not all that different from the wind blowing here on Earth, scientists analyzing the recording were able to detect 308 instances wherein the rover was pelted with tiny pieces of dust that were whipped up in the vortex. Intriguingly, the researchers observed that, unlike the normal composition of a dust devil, this particular whirlwind saw a higher concentration of material in its center rather than at its edges. Speaking to the strangeness of the storm, lead scientist Naomi Murdoch mused that it was "unusual even for Mars" and theorized that its uniqueness may be due to the vortex being "still in its initial phase of formation."
Based on the array of information collected by the rover, the researchers were able to estimate that it was approximately 378 feet tall and with a width of around 82 feet. They also determined that it was traveling at a speed of 17 feet-per-second when it encountered Perseverance. The capturing of the audio turned out to be something of a fortuitous event as the rover had previously detected a whopping 90 dust devils under similar circumstances, but this was the first time that its microphone happened to be activated when the moment occurred as the device is only able to record in 167-second long segments.
