The Mars Oxygen In-Situ Resource Utilization Experiment (MOXIE) is a technoligical experiment on the NASA Mars 2020 rover "Perseverance" trying to find out if oxygen can be created on Mars by using carbon dioxide.
On April 20, 2021, MOXIE produced oxygen from carbon dioxide in the Martian atmosphere by using solid oxide electrolysis. This was the first experimental extraction of a natural resource from another planet for human use.
The technology may help a possible human mission to the planet to provide breathable oxygen.

Human mission to Mars
A human mission to Mars has been seen in science fiction since the 1880s, and of aerospace engineering and scientific proposals since the late 1940s.
Plans include landing on Mars for exploration at a minimum, with some thinking about exploring its moons Phobos and Deimos.
Longterm proposals have included sending settlers and starting terraforming the planet.
The exploration of Mars has been a goal of national space programs for many years with planned missions typically being stated as taking place anywhere between 10 and 30 years.
Plans for a human mission to Mars may include a small group (between two and eight astronauts) would visit Mars for a period of a few weeks or year.
Many spacecrafts have already landed on Mars and they include: Landed spacecraft on the surface of Mars: "Mars 3", "Viking 1", "Viking 2", "Mars Pathfinder" and its "Sojourner" rover, "Spirit", "Opportunity", "Phoenix", "Curiosity", "InSight", "Beagle2" and "Perseverance".
In April 2021, the Mars Oxygen ISRU Experiment was able to create oxygen in the Martian atmosphere by using carbon dioxide. Many believe this is the first step for a human mission to Mars as it will help humans create breathable oxygen.

Petite bourgeoisie

Workers of the world, unite!
"Workers of the world, unite!" is a slogan from "The Communist Manifesto". It means that the working class should work together to get rid of capitalism and win the class war.
The original phrase in German was "Proletarians of all countries, unite!".
Wage slavery
Wage slavery is a situation where the pay a person receives for work is so low it barely or doesn't cover their expenses. The worker's wages are used up to pay for their basic needs, and they are unable to earn more. This person then doesn't have any money left to save, or for the expenses of an emergency.
Wage slavery is caused when bosses have more power than their employees and pay them very little money. The term "wage slavery" is used by Marxists and other people who do not like capitalism.
Black bloc
Black bloc is a protest strategy where people wear black clothes and cover up their faces. This helps them to not be recognized and to avoid pepper spray in their eyes.
People who do black bloc wear black clothes and shoes. Usually they wear matching clothes to blend in better in a crowd. They may also wear sunglasses to protect their eyes. To cover up their faces, they might wear hoodies, ski masks, and motorcycle helmets.
Black bloc was developed by leftists in West Germany in the 1980s. The idea became famous in Seattle, Washington in the United States in the 1990s in protests against the World Trade Organization.
The purpose of black bloc is to not be recognized by the police and security cameras. This is because people wearing black bloc may do things that are considered wrong or illegal according to the people in power. Some of these things include rioting, vandalism, and protesting without a permit.
Teenjurey View Point
Teenjurey also spelled as Tinjurey is the highest point of Fambong Lho Wildlife Sanctuary at an altitude of 2130 metres which is located in the East Sikkim district of the state of Sikkim in India. The election constituency of this are falls under the Kabi Lungchok (Vidhan Sabha Constituency). The word Tinjurey or Teenjurey has been derived from the Nepali language 'Teen' meaning 'three' and 'Jurey' meaning "the crest of a hill" because at the top, the hill bifurcates into three peaks therefore giving it the name "Teenjurey".
Tinjurey is ideal for a one-day trekking making it one of the most common and popular trails in the district for the locals as well as the tourists. The trekking trail begins from the Golitar base camp (which is about 25 kilometres away from the capital, Gangtok ) stretching to a distance of 5 kilometres and takes up about approximately 3 hours time to reach the top. This trek is the perfect option for a beginners trek. Through the course of the trek, you will come across fresh scenes of lush greenery with rich flora and fauna. At the top of the trek, you will find a watch tower from where the trekkers get a scenic view of the entire town of Gangtok as well as Teesta Valley from one side and on the other, we can also get a glimpse of the famous Kangchenjunga peak [the third highest mountain in the world - 28,169 feet (8,586 metres)].
There is no human settlement in Teenjurey besides the occasional functionings of the log houses to host tourists. However it has a rich biodiversity of flora and fauna. The forest is home to a variety of trees like magnolia, pine, bamboo, rhododendron( Rohodendron is the state flower of Sikkim), etc. There are also a number of endangered animals like barking deers, leopards, red panda(state animal of Sikkim), Hill Partridge, Himalayan brown bear, satyr tragopan, colourful butterflies, etc.
