(NASA/JPL-Caltech/MSSS/Reuters)NASA has released a striking image of dawn on the Martian surface taken by its Curiosity rover, showing sunlight bathing ‌jagged crags formed billions of years ago as the car-sized vehicle continues to explore Earth's planetary neighbour. Curiosity landed in 2012 in Gale Crater near the Martian equator, and since 2014 has been climbing Mount Sharp, a five-kilometre-tall mountain rising from the crater floor.

The transformation of the human body has been a recurring concern of science fiction for more than 200 years. It has reflected both our hopes of overcoming physical limitations, and our fears about how technology may change what it means to be human. Science fiction is an important creative and speculative space in which to explore these possibilities, and the ethics surrounding them. It encourages us to reflect on the values that shape the futures we are building.
