Mars is the fourth planet from the sun and has the largest volcanoes in our solar system. We are slowly getting there and the Mars One project may see humans move and die there as early as 2023!
For me they normally happen, these career crises, 00:03 → 00:05 often, actually, on a Sunday evening, 00:05 → 00:07 just as the sun is starting to set, 00:07 → 00:10 and the gap between my hopes for myself, 00:10 → 00:14 and the reality of my life, start to diverge so painfully 00:14 → 00:17 that I normally end up weeping into a pillow....
