Stationed on Mars

Posted by Aaron Schmidt (Auckland, New Zealand) on 10 October 2005 in Abstract & Conceptual and Portfolio.

When humans eventually colonize Mars, the Earth will appear to be just another star in the sky, a small reminder of home. When I think about those future colonists and how far they will travel from the people they love, it puts things into perspective. Living here in New Zealand with Aurelie is indeed a fair distance from either Canada or France but we're on the same planet, so we can't be that far away.
