In honor of the release of the new IMAX movie Roving Mars (read my review here), the people who helped make Mars what it is today: Orson Welles (recording his War of the Worlds radio program); Percival Lowell, who “discovered” the “canals” of the Red Planet; and Marvin, whose plans to blow up the Earth have surely taken on a new urgency since we started throwing cute robot rovers at his home.

Orson Welles apparently saved Earth from the alien invaders by eating them.
