In a quiet but consequential step in humanity's long conversation with Mars, NASA has entrusted Blue Origin with the launch of ESCAPADE — twin spacecraft that will travel eleven months through the void to study how solar energy moves through a world that lost its magnetic shield long ago. The mission, riding Blue Origin's New Glenn rocket in late 2024, reflects both a maturing commercial launch industry and science's deepening curiosity about planetary atmospheres stripped bare by the sun. Where Earth's magnetic field protects life, Mars offers a cautionary mirror — and ESCAPADE will listen to
