Roving Mars Buggy

We're so glad to see you've made the journey from earth. The connecting flight from the moon is quite comfortable like floating on a cloud some would say. Here we are on the red planet, 265 million miles from home ready to explore from the comfort of the Mars buggy. As one would expect, the interior of this brand new Mars buggy is fully adjustable. The variable lighting for this trip is set to a nice, cool blue, a soothing contrast from the deep, burnt orange surface beyond the windows. And riders are often amazed by the comfort of our seats, heated or cooled to your preference. They adjust to your body like a gentle hug. The seats can also recline fully to allow a perfectly comfortable viewpoint up the steep inclines and declines of Mars' many rock formations and dormant volcanoes. In fact, everything seems to adjust automatically, sensing where your body weight is and providing the exact amount of support needed in an instant.

And when you're ready, taking a big, deep breath, breathing in through the nose and out through the mouth. And as you breathe out, allowing the body to sink down into your bed, feeling the weight of the body, allowing thoughts to come and go. Now, imagining a steady flow of warm sunlight flowing down through the body, dissolving any tension, any discomfort as it begins to fill the body, starting with the toes, moving up through the feet and the legs, being filled with sunlight. The qualities of warmth, space, and ease as it continues to travel up through the body, up past the waist, through the back and the stomach. It's as though it washes away any discomfort. It continues up through the chest and the upper back into the shoulders and down the arms, all the way down to the hands and fingers. A sense of relief in the body and stillness in the mind as it continues to travel up through the neck and the throat into the head and face, all the way to the very top of the body until there's nothing other than that sense of stillness remaining. And now, just gently bringing the attention back to the body. Here we are, at the westernmost edge of Valles Marineris, or Mariner Valley. One of the largest canyons in the solar system, this incredible geological formation is almost...
