Some great pics from Mars showing the crashed Beagle probe and back shell from Perseverance smashed on the surface, among a few other bits and pieces that have smashed, crashed or otherwise littered Mars

That’s what humans are good at. Leaving trash every where they go. Once our environment is too toxic from all the trash we pick up and go some where else to turn that place into a toxic hell hold as well.

If some how we make it to mars we’ll just be fucking up that planet too.
