What you will learn
Mars has long haunted mankind with its red glow and tantalizing proximity. Humans have known about Mars since before recorded history and almost all cultures named it after their gods of war because of its blood red color. Mars boasts a volcano so large that it peeks into space and a canyon so long that it looks like a scar on the planet even from Earth. Oh yea… and we’ll talk about Martians.
