Mars astronaut memes boldly go beyond what’s actually happened – Education – Australian Associated Press
A young US woman is aiming to be the first person on Mars – but that’s about where the facts stop in many widely shared posts.
The Statement
Multiple posts on social media claim a young American woman is preparing to become the first human on Mars, and that she will never return to Earth, get married or have children.
One example, a Facebook post by an Australian user from May 21, shows a photo of a woman in a blue jumpsuit above text that reads: “Meet Alyssa Carson. She can’t get married, She can’t have kids. She is preparing to become the first human on Mars and She will never return to Earth.”
