@Tommy it's not just us... Read the comments here:

Not gonna lie, when I saw the first picture, I thought it was a lightsaber.

Mindblowing footage that.

Around 44%, actually Less atmosphere also means less scattering of light compared to Earth though, so it's another thing to factor in. It is also interesting how human vision works - the first few days on Mars, the daylight would likely appear somewhat dimmer to us, but after a while, our eyes and brains would adjust, and we wouldn't really notice much difference! Also, the "real sun" is still there and visible anyway... the luminosity might seem lower, the colours will be different, but it's very much there... Watch these videos made from images taken by several previous Mars rovers, or just any images/videos from Perseverance - there's plenty of sunlight there. Not being able to feel it on the skin is a different issue altogether, but I think you wouldn't notice lack of sunlight as much as you think you would...

To be honest, I don't know much. Vasco was in the 2nd division and I don't really follow Serie B. But I've found on Twitter some information about him.

Why do you think there isn't much light on Mars? The intensity of the sunlight is lower due to the greater distance from the sun, but that's really not much of an issue, especially since the atmosphere is very thin. The average lighting conditions near the equator on Mars on a clear day would be somewhat similar to northern Canada. So maybe not ideal, but definitely not unbearable. Artificial lighting will still be needed though, as the colonists will spend most of the time indoors, probably even in the excavated structures underground, so in that sense, lack of natural sunlight could be an issue. I think isolation, remoteness, cramped conditions, hostile environment, repetitiveness of daily tasks and high levels of stress would be by far larger issues regarding mental health of Mars colonists though. Will some people struggle and reach their breaking point? I'm absolutely sure they will. But in the end, humans can adapt to whatever conditions they need to. It's also safe to say that resilience and mental fortitude will be one of the key factors in selection process, especially for the first generation of settlers; you won't just send any random unprepared people there...

We've just signed Brazilian youngster Andrey Santos for 20m euros from CR Vasco da Gama. @El Profesor Any thoughts on this lad?

@MUFC feet.mp4

Why are you impersonating John?

Same

vaguest and most non-committal statement he could make without keeping totally quiet about it

Hopefully still in cinema's over the Christmas period as me and the missus thought this looked good when watching the trailers. Now I've read a decent review on here we will defo watch this one.

Same A lightsaber is a fictional energy sword featured throughout the Star Wars franchise. A typical lightsaber is depicted as a luminescent plasma blade about 3 feet (0.91 m) in length emitted from a metal hilt around 10.5 inches (27 cm) in length.[1] First introduced in the original Star Wars film,[a] it has since appeared in most Star Wars films, with at least one lightsaber duel occurring in each installment of the "Skywalker saga". The lightsaber's distinct appearance was created using rotoscoping for the original films, and with digital effects for the prequel and sequel trilogies.
