It's the one place in our solar system that could conceivably be visited by humans in our lifetime. I feel that it is our destiny to eventually explore other planets, I just hope they get to it while I am around.
Also, less scientifically, but nonetheless fascinating, I was a big fan of Ray Bradbury's Martian Chronicles. Those books struck my imagination and made me want to learn more about the real Mars.
Greetings all, just wanted to say hello. I am a long time lurker and decided that I would like to start contributing to your fine forums. I have a graduate degree in Chemistry, but If I had to do it all over I would want to build spacecraft. I am a huge fan of all things Sagan, as well as Mars. I look forward to interacting with you all soon!
