The Man Who Survived on Mars Chapter 1: The beginning Valles Marineris, Mars: 2145 This is the story of how we first managed to live on Mars. And it all started with a man named Jimmy Marko. Jimmy was always the odd one out, always had the weirdest ideas and dreams. And one of his dreams was the reason we managed to live on Mars. It was Tuesday night in Florida, 2025. He had a tiresome day working on designing the spaceship to go to Mars. And he was ready to rest. So, he got into bed, got warm and comfy, closed his eyes, and drifted off to sleep.
