How could i refuse? when my friend Mike invited me to travel with him on a three-week, all expenses paid, Mars excursion for research, there was no debate in my mind. So i went. We travelled for ten days each way with one day to gaze out the porthole-type windows and snap photos. for the twenty days to and fro, we mostly drank and played games (there were seven scientists and two tourists besides us). "Sorry" was the most popular but the magnetic chess board was the most convenient. Anyway, once we got to Mars, we orbited for a day at 50,000 feet, picking out, analyzing and recording surface features. Here then, are the photos!
