Since flying saucers first hit the headlines almost two

one member of the solar system beside Earth is capable of
supporting life. That is Mars. Even Mars, however, appears
to be relatively desolate and inhospitable, so that a Martian

Earth.
On Mars, there exists an excessively slow loss of atmosphere,
oxygen and water, against which intelligent beings, if they
do exist there, may have protected themselves by scientific
control of physical conditions. This might have been done,
