 Envision yourself relaxing while taking in an Earthrise or the power of
its setting orb from the window of a five-star Martian resort. Or would
you rather "rough it" at one of many pod-campsites offering spectacular
vistas of Venus and protection from surface temperatures ranging from
-133 C/-207 F at the winter pole to 27 C,/80 F on the day side during
summer.
Perhaps an excursion to Olympus Mons, the largest mountain in the Solar
System rising 24 km (78,000 ft.) above the Martian surface, or a trek up
Tharsis, a mysterious bulge upon the facade is more to your liking.
Would a hike down Valles Marineris, a system of canyons 4000 km long and
from 2 to 7 km deep stimulate your sense of adventure? Hellas Planitia,
an impact crater in the southern hemisphere over 6 km deep and 2000 km
in diameter may invoke your fantasies of becoming one with the universe.

Why climb Mount Everest or journey through diminishing rain forests on
Earth when Mars beckons?
