Mars. There had to be life there! Anything you wanted to know could be found in the children's library, I assumed. I was really disappointed! Nobody on earth knew anymore about Mars than
the man on the street knew. There was a man named Orson Wells that imagined things really well, so this genius wrote radio scripts and when they were aired, some people in America thought Martians were actually invading New Jersey! I think Orson got into a little trouble for that!
Being born under the Zodiac sign of Taurus the Bull, I was a stubborn little cuss, and I promised
myself that I wouldn't leave this world until I knew for sure that life did or did not exist on Mars.
Today CNN's Web site invites us to look at brand new photos of Mars. There are 95 pages of
photos. There are more than 1500 photos. Nothing very startling there, I'll bet!
Of course, long ago when I thought of life, I pictured human or human-like creatures. We are
pretty sure that there are no such critters inhabiting Mars now. But life on Mars doesn't have
to walk around on two legs to be considered as life.
What really scares me is that one of those machines might have a warped sense of humor and
drop a copy of LIFE magazine on Mars and therefore put an end to my quest.
