Have you seen Mars?

On May 22, Earth will fly between Mars and the sun for the first time in two years. It now appears in a triangle with Saturn and Antares. Recent images here!

[snip] The video above – by Jeremy Evans – shows the Milky Way Rising with Saturn, Mars, and Antares from Vermillion Cliffs National Monument near the Utah/Arizona border.

“This is a PC Dejah Thoris.”

No doubt...she has a belly button. The real Dejah hatched from an egg and had none, IIRC.

Thank you. Crackpot thug leftist totalitarians are satisfying their erections at the expense of classic literature. That painting is a fraud. BTW there was an actual black race on Mars, and one of them became an ally of John Carter.

Just wait until 2018 and you will see a SpaceX Red Dragon space capsule sitting on the surface of Mars. Elon Musk of Tesla fame, is funding the mission privately.

The SpaceX Dragon space capsule will also take American astronauts to the International Space Station in 2017.
