Hoth Memes

Mixing sci-fi with actual planetary science is like adding ketchup to a fine wine. This meme shows Mars during its "snowball phase" after the oxygen catastrophe—which is hilariously wrong on multiple levels. Mars never had oceans that froze over, and the Great Oxygenation Event happened on Earth about 2.4 billion years ago when cyanobacteria decided oxygen was the hot new trend. The astronaut's suggestion to visit Venus for a "tropical paradise" is just chef's kiss irony—unless you enjoy sulfuric acid rain and temperatures hot enough to melt lead. Basically, this is what happens when you get your planetary science from a Star Wars marathon.
