Starfleet had a base on Mars, as evidenced by way of a picture captured by way of NASA’s Interest rover. Newbie astronomer Scott Atkinson discovered the stone sculpture of the Starfleet insignia amongst a pile of rocks at the Purple Planet’s Mount Sharp (Aeolis Mons).
“I guess the Superstar Trek lovers at the @MarsCuriosity crew smiled like Cheshire Cats once they noticed this new symbol seem on their displays,” Atkinson posted on X.
From House.com:
“Other layers of Mount Sharp constitute other eras of Martian historical past. As Interest ascends, scientists be told extra about how the panorama modified through the years,” JPL officers wrote in September 2023. The rover is now in a zone that is full of sulfate, the commentary added, “that may be the perfect elevation layer it’s going to ever consult with.”
