Orbital dynamics, proximity operations, thruster failures: all play a big role in the coming Generation Mars book. It's interesting to read about similar events IRL. I had to stretch physics a little for narrative purposes, but it turns out I'm not far off.

The next book is turning into an epic. Decided I needed more delta-v to pull it off. This oughta do it.

It was Christmas time on Earth. This meant it was also Christmas time on Mars. Certainly, the season was different, it being summer for the colony on a planet that takes two Earth years to complete its orbit. (1/10)

Former NASA administrator says Lunar Gateway is “a stupid architecture” “We should be, with all deliberate speed, returning to the Moon.”…

Curiosity at Martian Scenic Overlook
Curiosity at Martian Scenic Overlook Curiosity Project Scientist Ashwin Vasavada gives a descriptive tour of the Mars rover's view in Gale Crater. The white-balanced scene looks back over the journey so far. The view from "Vera Rubin Ridge" looks back over buttes, dunes and other features along the route. To see where the rover is now, visit https://mars.nasa.gov/msl/mission/whereistherovernow/ To aid geologists, colors in the image are white balanced so rocks appear the same color as the same rocks would on Earth. Why? Click here: https://go.nasa.gov/2Fs8tFd

There's also a video description at2/2)

(Re the sky color, note the comment at the end of the video: "To aid geologists, colors in the image are white balanced so rocks appear the same color as the same rocks would on Earth.")
