> "Free Mars!" is a Babylon 5 reference (I'm in a Babylon 5 mood today...) In the series, Mars has been colonized from Earth, and is still controlled by Earth. Many Marsies resent that, however, and strive for independence. "Free Mars!" is both a rallying cry, and the name of the largest group fighting for independence from Earth.

Thanks, that explains it :) Sounds like I'm gonna have to catch up on my Babylon 5 references!

Oh, don't worry... I think I'm the only B5 fanatic here, so it probably won't come up that often. ;)
