Mara

Alex stares down at the planet before her. It was beautiful, green lands that were almost drowned by the vibrant Blue that covered more than she could see. White puffs dotted the greens and blues, almost see-through at times. They were called clouds; she couldn’t remember the last time she had seen them. How many years has it been since she had been back at her home planet? Alex was a commander of a small group of scientists that have gone to Mars on their third mission. This Mission has been longer than the other one. Instead of staying on Mars for three months, they remain there for five years. They were getting data on the soil contents that had been there and trying to figure out if they could have water on mars or at least a substitute for water. It was no secret that NASA was trying to make a colony on Mars; that was everyone's fantasy.
