You may be right that we won't see these in live action, but it's a shame because I think they look great.
Spoilers Picard Prequel "Children of Mars"
- Thread starter mattman8907
- Start date
I'm expecting animated shows to be as semi/non-canon as TASAlthough it's possible they coexisted with the FC uniforms, Lower Decks is set in 2380 and features a new uniform style.
What makes Mars non-M? Back in the 2150s, terraforming of the place was in full swing. And things have progressed since: in the 2370s, terraforming apparently was a successful industry, even if no doubt different locations would offer different challenges. And if we can now debate whether the planet targeted by an armada of apparent Romulan ships (and portrayed by Mars) is Mars or Vulcan, a bunch of Vulcanoids might well feel right at home there...

MARS was being terraformed almost 300 years before. It stands to reason it can hold a population by the time of STP.
It would be interesting enough to find out whether Vulcanoids really love desert hellholes such as Vulcan and Mars and the Romulans hated every minute they spent on lush Romulus, or whether the original transplanting of the Vulcans on Vulcan was an act of punishment...
But yeah, "Terra Prime" was explicit about the lowlands already having enough atmosphere to only require warm clothing (and some oxygen...). And Vulcanoids are natural mountaineers!

in Enterprise it was in progress of being Terraformed
Vulcan doesn't look much different, FWIW. But Mars was being terraformed back when Earthlings thought every Class M planet within reach was already taken, but for diabolical deathtraps like Terra Nova. The project might have been dropped like a cold potato when Archer showed the colonists The Way.

I hadn't heard about or noticed the Romulans on Mars in the trailer, so I was wondering how the title related to Picard.
There was a picture of Utopia Planitia in TNG, and it looks there's a fair amount of open space, so I'm thinking it's at least habitable enough to go outside by that time.

Shades of the monster maroons in there.
There have always been inconsistancies with Luna and Mars like that. The Sol system should be absolutely littered with refueling stations, spaceports, repair docks, living quarters, mining areas, etc, throughout all the various satellite objects of big gas giants, throughout the asteroid belt, and all over mars and luna.
If they really wanted to get risky in the Sol system, they could have worked on terraforming Venus...
This is the most likely answer. However I was hoping that it'd have something to do with Picards ancestors who help found the first Martian colonies.

You're living in the past - TAS was restored to full 'Star Trek Canonicity' YEARS AGO.
Must've missed that - source?^^^

Would we notice? Space is big, and a million Spacedocks in medium orbit of Earth would still mean that getting two in the same shot would be phenomenally good luck.
The problem is sort of the opposite: in ST:FC, Riker claims that the Moon in full daylight ought to look different in the future. What could possibly result in this? Earth in daylight today looks pretty much the same it did before the invention of fire, from the distance of the Moon at least.
Thankfully, it's easy to argue Riker is just bullshitting Zep Cochrane there. The Commander speaks of "Lake Armstrong", which in theory might be a reflective body of water, only visible from dead above (aka dead below) on the daylit Moon - a vista we never enjoy in the 24th century, where the Moon is always seen from the side. Or then it's a Lake in the Luna sense, a basalt circle perhaps created in a mining accident of Kzinti attack or whatnot, and actually utterly insignificant except for the discerning/biased eye.
They were, as of "Past Tense". Probably not much of a priority, considering how easy it is to just pitch a tent on an empty Second Earth a few lightyears or warp-hours away. I wonder why they even bothered?

CBS Themselves when They released TAS on DVD back in November of 2006.
It first appeared on the Official Star Trek site (as canon) about a month before that.
Yeah, and the unused Generations uniforms as well.
It’s canon, until it’s not.^^^

I’d like to think TAS was restored to canon when Roddenberry died and Richard Arnold was marched off the studio lot. But maybe I’m not a good person.
