th th Mars, the Red Planet, fourth planet from the Sun, forever
linked with 19 and 20 Century fantasy of a bellicose, intelligent
Martian civilization. The romance and excitement of that fiction
remains today, even as technologically sophisticated - botic
orbiters, landers, and rovers seek to unveil Mars' secrets; but so
far, they have yet to find evidence of life. The aura of
excitement, though, is justified for another reason: Mars is a very
special place. It is the only planetary surface in the Solar System
where humans, once free from the bounds of Earth, might hope to
establish habitable, self-sufficient colonies. Endowed with an
insatiable drive, focused motivation, and a keen sense of -
ploration and adventure, humans will undergo the extremes of
physical hardship and danger to push the envelope, to do what has
not yet been done. Because of their very nature, there is little
doubt that humans will in fact conquer Mars. But even earth-bound
extremes, such those experienced by the early polar explorers, may
seem like a walk in the park compared to future experiences on
Mars.
