A rover climbed into a valley and found the floor cracked into honeycombs — the signature of ground that got wet and dried, over and over, long ago. A spacecraft sent to save a falling telescope is now the one in trouble. And a rover that died twenty years ago just filed one more story about water on Mars.

RedPlanet News Network broadcasts from New Olympus, Mars, in the year 2285 — relayed back to Earth 259 years early. Real space science, reported by the colony that it built.

TONIGHT'S REAL EARTH STORIES
• NASA's Curiosity rover images a field of polygonal fractures in "Valle Grande" — honeycomb shapes a few centimetres across, locked edge to edge, read as the signature of repeated wet/dry cycling.
• New evidence that water once covered a great deal of Mars, pulled from twenty-year-old data returned by the Spirit rover.
• The spacecraft launched to reboost NASA's Swift observatory suffers attitude-control problems — the rescue mission may now need rescuing itself.
• SpaceX takes $1.6 billion in new launch orders to loft military missile-tracking, targeting and communications satellites.
• Solar storms warm the Martian lower atmosphere — but only when they coincide with a major dust storm. Found by accident, while researchers were looking for something else.

Everything our anchors report about real spaceflight is real. Everything about Mars in 2285 is ours.
