Last day on mars
The Last day on mars
Year - 2213. The earth was destroyed due to the fact that the sun turned into a supernova much earlier than anyone expected. People who remained in the solar system live on Mars, which will soon suffer the same fate as Earth. In order to survive, they plan to colonize a distant planet named Aaru-5. Thirteen-year-old Liam was born on Mars. All his life, his scientific parents worked for long hours, performing vital experiments for the transition from Mars to Aar-5. On the day the last Starliner spacecraft leaves for Aaru-5, almost all of the 100 million remaining Martian inhabitants are already on board. Liam and his best friend Phoebe remain on earth, waiting for their parents to finish work at their research center. Two teenagers expect to spend a day idle waiting for their departure.
Instead, they end up opening an invisible research lab, applying some seriously advanced 4-D alien technology, saving their parents from a fire explosion, flying in space with an artificially intelligent panda named JEFF, and racing to catch up with the last starship, so they can provide important information that can be the key to saving humanity. (Oh, and also because they won’t stay forever.) Despite the fact that from time to time this newcomer is complicated, he is full of action and interesting. With a focus on time and space travel, including well-designed and accurate scientific research, this novel will be easily sold to science fiction enthusiasts.

On the last day of the first manned mission to Mars, a crew member at the Tantalus base believes he made a startling discovery - fossilized evidence of bacterial life. Not wanting the rescue team to demand all the glory, he does not obey orders to collect things and goes on an unauthorized expedition to collect additional samples. But routine excavations turn into a catastrophe when the porous earth collapses, and it falls into a deep cleft and approaches death. His emptied colleagues are trying to restore his body. However, when the other disappears, they begin to suspect that the life-form they discovered has not yet died. When the group begins to fall apart, it seems that their only hope is the imminent arrival of the Aurora relief ship.
