Percy “will look for signs of past life in a region of Mars where the ancient environment is believed to have been favorable for microbial life.” NASA provided pics and the first sounds of Mars.

Perhaps we have become characters in a David Lynch movie. Odd nightmarish dream sequences are occurring one after another. A surreal ethos is surfacing from the subconscious of the Blue Planet producers.
