Some people say Trump always want to move the market or avoid moving the market on Saturday. The Operation Midnight Hammer against Iran was on Jun 22 Saturday, actually it was summer solstice. Most of his tariff war was also announced on Saturday. Sometimes it is true and sometimes it is not. Such as the capture of Maduro was on Tuesday midnight. We cannot control it, but what we can do is to use the weekend to study and have research on everything under the sun and know more on the planet of Mars.
In 1957, there was a Sputnik Crisis. Soviet Union launched the first artificial satellite into space know as Sputnik. Therefore, US established NASA and wished to chase up. In 1961, Soviet Union sent the first man into space. The fear of US was even higher that President Kennedy determined to send the first man to the Moon before the end of that decade and succeeded in 1969. Apollo project ended in 1972 because there was no competition. In 2016. President Obama vowed to send people to Mars by 2030, that is within 15 years because China wanted to send crews to Mars earlier than US even they have no experience of landing on the Moon.
For the time being, China has not given up the hope of sending crews to the Mars earlier than US even though it is quite hard. In the 1960s and 1970s, both US and Soviet Union had several unsuccessful orbiters of flying by Mars. In 1964 and 1969, US has Mariner 4, 6 and 7 successfully flyby. The first successful flyby of Soviet Union was in 1971 of the Mars 2. In May 1971, Mars 3 of Soviet Union successfully landed on Mars and sent back photos, but just 20 seconds after soft landing lost contact. Anyway, it is recorded as a successful soft landing, for it really sent back several photos in those 20 seconds. At that time Apollo crews already landed on the Moon in 1969. In August 1975, US had successful soft landing without crews on Mars. In 1998, ISAS of Japan successfully flyby, and 2003 ESA of Europe had unsuccessful landing. 2011 China had unsuccessful orbiter and 2013 India had successful orbiter.
In 23rd July 2020, China has a 3 in 1 succeccful trip, that is orbiter, lander and rover. That is arousing another Sputnik crisis. US landed on 30th July 2020 even had helicopter flying on another planet, but China really took the chance of every 26 months of launching to Mars which is the nearest distance and really landed earlier than US. But in 19th July 2020, UAE also sent orbiter to Mars without landing, and their information is supplied by University of Arizona. The business college of Arizona had been sending students to Hong Kong to join our 2-month internship in Finance every year for a long time. Anyway, July 2020 is a hot year for Mars
In winter of Mars, there is great dusk storms, That the landing rovers had to stop working and go for hibernation. But after that US rover, resumed as normal while Chinese rover could not re-start. In October 2024 ESA has crafts flyby Mars. In 13th November 2025, NASA with University of California Berkely send twin crafts known as ESCAPADE and will arrive late October or early November 2026.
So what we can see now is that a lot of Mars related stocks already went up, such as LMT, RTX, NOC, GD, BA ……. And even indirect or related stocks like TSLA, NVDA, TSM, GOOG, MSFT that is concerning semiconductor and super computers are going up also. Too many stocks needed to by, but for retail investors too little capital at hand. The secret of success is to avoid copy trade as AI also suggested you should have further research rather than just copy trade.
