These streaks are known as recurring slope lineae (RSL), and

Colonizing on Mars Mars is the fourth planet from the sun and is 401 million km away from Earth.

The colonization of Mars is a beautiful drug, the vice of humanity. Mars is overwhelming and consuming, like society. “Mars becomes a way of seeing, of being, a state of mind, a vision, an addiction,” (Harlow 311-314). The allure of Mars lied within the newfound freedom and power its settlers craved. Bradbury best showed the effects on Mars through his character Spender, an archaeologist who rages against his crewmates, murdering them as protest of destructive technology and disregard towards Martian
