About Mars’ past, and Earth’s future.
Long ago, on a planet not too distant from the planet that we now call Earth, there was a society that was very much like our own. Their planet was at one time prosperous and full of life, much like the Earth. They had forests and oceans much like our own.
Their technology had become much more advanced than anything that we have ever seen on our planet thus far. But this was long before the Earth had ever been inhabited. Soon, however, the governments and corporations (as both entities were really one and the same) of this planet became power-hungry and corrupt. The natural resources of the planet were all but completely stripped away from this once-prosperous planet for corporate gain and the selfish wants and desires of the citizens of this planet. Fighting broke out as the resources began to run out, as there was not enough to go around. The fighting would soon escalate to full-fledged wars between nations.
As the wars continued, more destructive weapons were in constant development. It wasn’t long before the entire planet was completely decimated. Nuclear weapons were developed and nations went to war with each other, with no forethought as to the repercussions. Within years, everything was completely destroyed. The ground was left completely barren and the soil was scarred for the rest of eternity. The oceans were completely evaporated and the atmosphere began to dissipate. Nothing could ever be able to grow here again, and no living being would ever be able to survive. The only thing that remained were a few forlorn monuments left standing in the northern part of the planet and a red dust of the incinerated past coating the entirety of the surface.
Only a few lucky survivors were able to escape in space ships to find refuge on the next nearest planet to the sun and begin to rebuild their society, in hopes that history would not repeat itself.
