MARS

The world now knows (if NASA scientists are correct) that Mars has eyes.

Earth has been watching Mars a long time, but Mars has also had its eyes on Earth for a long time.

The Moon may be a harsh mistress, but Mars is a spy.

H.G. Wells warned us:

The Eve of the War No one would have believed in the first years of the twenty-first century that this world was being watched keenly and closely by intelligences greater than man’s and yet as mortal as his own; that as men busied themselves about their various concerns they were scrutinized and studied, perhaps almost as narrowly as a man with a microscope might scrutinize the transient creatures that swarm and multiply in a drop of water. With infinite complacency men went to and fro over this globe about their little affairs, serene in their assurance of their empire over matter. No one gave a thought to the older worlds of space as sources of human danger, or thought of them only to dismiss the idea of life upon them as impossible or improbable.

But wait, I have just been informed that Mars has ice…

Not EYES!

SORRY.

IT’S THE OIL STUPID!
