Do I need prior spacewalk experience?

No. Intro EVA training is built into the first three days and certifies you for supervised surface work. You'll log real EVA hours toward a future Spacefarer License.

What's the actual explanation for the Face formation?

Scully's assessment, on file with the Interstellar Travel Authority, is mesa erosion and a favorable sun angle. You'll get to inspect the shadow lines yourself and form your own view.

What happens if the transfer window is delayed?

Mars launch windows are fixed by orbital mechanics, not by us. If your window slips, we rebook you into the next available slot at no additional cost.

What travelers say about GlobePro

“Skeptical the whole flight out. Less skeptical the whole flight back.”

A. K. · Mars Cydonia, July 2026

“My EVA instructor was patient with someone who'd never worn a pressure suit. I'd go again just for the training.”
