We Cometh To Mars

WE COMETH TO MARS Now after so many trials and errors we have succeeded where all of the others have failed. We arrived on Mars in a mechanical form, a small rocket called Fred. Contact is by radio, twenty minute delay between the two worlds. Just forty years ago all of this would have seemed a dream. With our advanced technology and a little luck we have achieved the impossible. Now Fred slowly picks his way over the Martian surface probing and picking his scientific way using his probe. His batteries last only a week but imagine what he will see; we sit back on Earth and watch in awe as data streams forth. This is truly a historic moment, one of the most important yet for man. Soon he will follow in a manned mission, following Fred and his one-way trip.
