Then science got its hands on the planet and basically trashed the place. No canals, no cities, no wise ancients-heck, when science is done, there won't be any life at all on the Red Planet. It's an interplanetary tragedy."Science fiction isn't just one thing. The field is a cosmos of many mansions, with something to please almost everyone.
