Transmissions gathers the long-form writing of Aspiring Martians — considered pieces shaped from thoughtful conversations with people already thinking deeply about life beyond Earth.

These articles are not about rockets, spacesuits, or oxygen scrubbers. They focus on the quieter questions. Food. Clothing. Sleep. Relationships. How people cope with isolation. How communities form when Earth is just a pale dot in the sky.

Each Transmission distills real experience and informed perspective into an editorial journey through the choices, constraints, and everyday realities that will define what it truly means to live on Mars.
