Mars
The first serious book I read as a child was Heinlein's "Red Planet". Looking back to this charming time of my life, I remember thinking that we actually had space stations whizzing about the Earth. Along with an entire generation of "boomer" children, I hatched the dream of travelling to other worlds.
Since then, Mars has become a place, a real location. In this excellent lecture, Professor Carolin Crawford tells us what we know about Mars now and how we learned it.
It is possible that a few people who watch this lecture will actually visit the Red Planet, although Crawford paints a bleak enough picture of the place that we can understand that she is not personally looking for a ticket to the Red Planet.
