In this chapter, a physicist from Uruguay tells us about the vision of Mars that science fiction and comics have conveyed to us and wonders whether mankind is ready to coexist with other types of life, such as might be found on a planet like Mars. In order to research the likelihood of life on Mars, NASA has carried out experiments in the Atacama Desert, which we shall visit, since this is the most similar place on Earth to the red planet. We will become acquainted with the Curiosity, a robot sent to Mars, and meet a Colombian astronaut who has trained to travel to the red planet. Finally, we shall visit a factory of rockets with state-of-the-art technology, which may soon take us to Mars.

Children of the Stars is a voyage through the history of the people of America and their vision of the sky, since the earliest civilizations until the present. In this crossing between the future and the past, this series travels through Latin America to discover the secrets of ancient temples devoted to stars in the Universe and to visit the world’s largest astronomical observatories with their cutting-edge technology, along with outstanding scientists. This trip will show us how the cosmos inspired, and continues to inspire, humanity and the arts.

To know the Universe is to know ourselves. Because the calcium in our bones and the iron in our blood came to us through the explosion of a star, thousands of years ago. Because we are all Sons of the Stars.
