MOST astronomers agree that between the poles of Mars-which are capped with a thin layer of snow-are vast areas of brick-red deserts.. A greenish belt which may be moorland or the decaying remains of primeval forests runs round the equator. There are no seas and no mountain ranges. The atmosphere is thin. The extremes of temperature are severe.

SCIENTISTS of the British Interplanetary Society belleve that within 60-years it may be possible to visit Mars by space-ship and return safely. Equipped with pressure sults and carrying a supply of oxygen, explorers, would be able to move about the surface of 'the planet. Because Mars weighs only one-tenth as much as the earth Its gravitational pull is weaker. Men would be able to carry super-heavy weights and Jump record heights. Animal life is probably extinct.
