The new report lays out how to maximize the scientific return from a future mission that sends astronauts to the red planet.
It suggests several possible exploration campaigns, describing exactly what kind of crew and equipment would be required.
The top-ranked option, for example, would involve a human landing lasting more than 30 days on Mars, plus a longer one lasting about a year, and would require a large suite of science instruments.
But another possible mission would involve setting up a drilling rig at one site and drilling down deep into the Martian crust in search of liquid water where microbes might live.

A team of researchers did experiments by simulating some common video call scenarios.
like health consultations or sales pitches, to see how people in glitch-free video calls are perceived compared to people whose videos have brief freezes, lags, or audio echoes.
The results in the journal Nature show that glitches when a person was speaking resulted in that person being perceived as less likable or trustworthy.
The researchers also studied some real-world data from parole hearings that were conducted over video and found that technical glitches significantly reduced the chances that someone would get parole.
