Martian Highlights in the Moonlight

I saw Mars quite large today:

Since Mars is the topic of the thread, let me recommend a good book series on the red planet:

Kim Stanley Robinson:

Red Mars
Green Mars
Blue Mars

Quite believable even if it is science fiction.

I think Ray Bradbury's Martian Chronicles was the best SF book on Mars.

Tell you what, Larry. I'm still waiting for the email from the library on the book that expat recommended. I'll pick up a copy of Martian Chronicles at the same time and get back with you.

If mars would reach a distance that fit in the disc of the moon or even the half or quarter, it would be because it broke its orbit around the sun and the gravitational pull will kill every living thing on the earth. It will be close enough for anyone to see details on its surface using a binoculars 7x50.
Trust me.

[color=#003300]If everyone remembers (and I think we're stuck on it), we had that misinformation presented last year. However, I recently read an article (evidently, no one here has read it) where they seemed to expect us to have colonized the moon by 2084 (not so likely in this century, let alone my lifetime); So my query, alrot, is not what Mars will appear like (since you'd be standing on it) but, rather, what the backdrop of Earth and our Moon will appear like next to either

I read the book back in the mid sixties. It was much better than the TV mini-series in 1980. I just found out there is a new movie in development for 2013. Might be good, depending on the actors, director, etc.

Sorry to dig up an old post. Do forgive me, but I'll just leave this link right here... http://www.spacevidcast.com/2010/08/11/ ... oonz11111/

Don't let the wording in the link fool you. That "slang" was done completely out of the norm for the site.

This link on the same site is was more appropriate to my inquiry:
http://www.spacevidcast.com/2009/08/24/would-you-take-a-one-way-ticket-to-mars
...we'll send Foz one so he can get there free -- just for the fun of it... and I'm sure he'll make sure there's internet.

I'm a member at that site that handles the official Q&A stuff there. Foz, if you don't put Mars on the information super highway, I'll personally see that your spacesuit is as comfortable as a Cessna 152 cockpit at 18,000 ft.
