| TEXT: | |
| /LP, /TX | Mars, it turns out, looks just like Tucson. That's not my description, but |
| that of one of the scientists working on NASA 's Pathfinder project, the | |
| Martian exploration currently grabbing headlines around the globe. | |
| Having been to Tucson, I'd call the description only half right. Red dirt | |
| and rocks, yes. But Mars shows no evidence of mountain bikers, hikers, Taco | |
| Bells or the other detritus of modern earthly life. Which is what, to me, | |
| makes it so interesting. | |
| I can do without the air of studied cuteness that surrounds some of the | |
| news reports. I don't need to know how adorable and toylike Sojourner, the | |
| Mars rover, is. Spare me the names for every rock the thing trundles past. | |
| We've already met Barnacle Bill and Yogi; surely Skeeter and Zuzu aren't | |
| far away. (Is this marketing run amok, or just a quirk of the scientific | |
| community?) But send as many of those postcards of desolate, untracked | |
| landscapes as possible. This, to me, is the real value of the mission. | |
| I'll admit to being of two minds about a lot of space exploration. | |
| "Because it's there" is a fine enough reason to do a lot of things, but | |
| missions into the heavens are made mainly with tax dollars, and you don't | |
| have to be a Luddite to wonder if there isn't an upper limit on what's | |
| reasonable to spend on such things. | |
| But untracked territory that's reasonably within reach is a mighty lure. | |
| We can answer our big questions about Martian life, and, as always happens | |
| on expeditions like these, we get answers to questions we hadn't even | |
| thought to ask. Mostly, though, we just get to look around under that pink | |
| sky and see things older eyes never could. | |
| My colleague Leo Morris never tires of dismissing environmentalists by | |
| claiming that human beings are part of the ecosystem, too, and our | |
| activities can't all be dismissed out of hand as environmental degradation. | |
| He's right, but he forgets there's a reason the phrase "untouched by human | |
| hands" is so familiar. We all yearn to see landscape in such a condition. | |
| We want to know what it was like here before we arrived, stand alone smack | |
| in the middle of it and pretend that even we don't exist. | |
| (...) | |
| Not here, at least. But on Mars there are, and every glance we get at the | |
| desolate, beautiful, rock-strewn Martian landscape, we're seeing one. Why | |
| is this so powerful? | |
| I suspect the answer is as elusive as the thing that flutters in our | |
| chests when Pathfinder opens its robot eyes. | |
