he planet Mars has always captured the human imagination. There is its redness. We know
now that the color comes from chemical reactions that long ago locked up Mars's oxygen in
reddish minerals on its surface, causing the "rusting" of the planet. To the ancient people, the
red color meant only one thing: blood. From the earliest times, Mars has been associated with
bloodshed. Even the astronomical symbol for Mars, a circle with an arrow pointing at 2 o'clock,
is supposed to represent a shield and a spears.
As astronomers used telescopes, Mars mythology grew. It was the Italian astronomer Giovanni
Schiaparelli who, in 1877, produced the most lasting bit of Martian folklore. He saw what he
took to be long, thin, unnaturally straight lines on the Martian surface. He called them canali, a
word that can translate into English either as "channels" or "canals." Unfortunately, the latter
translation was used, and the canals of Mars were born. Of course, if there were canals, there
had to be canal builders, so once more Mars was peopled with all manner of intelligent life
forms!
In 1965 Mariner 4 sent back first close-up pictures of the Martian surface. Not only were there
no canals, but Mariner 4 and the spacecraft that followed revealed a planet that was a cratered,
lifeless desert. We have subsequently learned that Mars is home to Olympus Mons, the largest
volcano in the entire solar system, and to a canyon system stretching for almost 3,000 miles
around the Martian equator. The atmosphere is extremely thin (equivalent to that at 130,000
feet above Earth) and made up almost entirely of carbon dioxide. The surface is cold, almost
