Remarkably, the near-total lack of an atmosphere on Mars didn't hamper the missions, nor did the remote viewer detect the said lack when he was jotting down details of the short, rotund Martians of many thousands of years ago. Sigh. Arnold Schwarzenegger covered that in Total Recall, don't you *remember*?
...hmm. And "short, round" Martians. Could it be Arnold's affair with the maid was simply nostalgia for Mars?
