In ā€œThe Martian Chroniclesā€ by Ray Bradbury, a guy moves to Mars and opens a hot dog stand. I loved that book. The mini-series was really good, too. Even Bradbury reportedly liked the TV series. They had one little vignette (the director added that wasnā€™t in the book) where Jesus appears briefly. Bradbury thought that was great and wished heā€™d thought of it himself.
 
I liked the books and the mini-series as well. Thought they were done well. I like Bradbury in any event, though.
 
There is an underground civilization on Mars approximately 400 km under the surface. Some scientists know this, but most are too afraid to come out with the truth for various reasons.

Thereā€™s no hot showers in space! Iā€™ll bet everyone stinks aboard the space station.

There are showers aboard the ISS and it looks like a big sleeping bag with vacuum devices to collect the water since it wonā€™t flow down in zero gravity.

Zero gravity would make all hygiene in space a bit of a chore.
 
Hush. You werenā€™t supposed to know about that. Watch out for shadowy figures visiting you tonight.
 
Ray Bradburyā€™s books are great. The Martian Chronicles was my favorite, but I also liked The Illustrated Man quite a bit.
 
It canā€™t be luxurious. The toilet must be fun. :crazy_face: I hear they drink their pee.
 
The underground people are the ones who built the ā€œfaceā€.
 
If you squint your eyes and look ,it looks more like a lions face ā€¦
 
There is a part of me that would love going to Mar as an adventure. It would be an awful long trip though. Iā€™m already bad enough on short trips about asking ā€œare we there yetā€. I might not be the best candidate for such a space voyage. Maybe if I was sedatedā€¦hmmm.
 
I liked ā€œMartians Go Home,ā€ by Frederic Brown. If I recall aright, it was a funny novel. The Martians werenā€™t menacing; they were just everywhere, watching.
 
WARNING! Strong language.

Reminds me of this classic from Donovan:
