| USS ENTERPRISE NCC 1701-D |
Conversely Star Trek's USS Concord NCC-68711 starship (TNG "All Good Things") takes seconds to cover that distance. The Apple Computer company was formed on February 4th, 1976. Earth's first spaceflight in the search for extraterrestrial life results in exploring MARS!!!
In 1996 scientists discover microscopic evidence of ancient life on MARS!!!
The lander successfully sets down 54.6 million kilometers away in '76 and takes images for Earth's happy ball of beings. Unfortunately no Martians to high five us back but to quote Counsellor Troi in TNG, "I sense the holding back."
A recent NASA discovery in 2016 revealed a large amount of underground ice in the Utopia Planitia region of Mars. So we now know it's possible to sustain humanoid life on MARS!!! Its only logical to surmise Martians are hiding somewhere on the Red planet."

| READINGS INDICATE STRONG MARTIAN LIFEFORMS NEARBY |
If only the inhabitants weren't so shy of Earthers somebody was just saying the other day. In Star Trek's 51 year history, Utopia Planitia can be overlooked from the Martian hills walking along the surface. Starfleet's spaceship Yards orbiting the planet also gives a clear view of the largest impact basin 16,625 kilometers above the Utopia Planitia region on Mars! So where are the Martians hiding?

I am endlessly fascinated at how weak the wall between science and science fiction has become...
I can't remember who said it, but...
The surest sign of intelligent life on other planets is the fact that they haven't contacted us.
Sounds like Mark Twain but that seems anachronistic.
If only the inhabitants weren't so shy of Earthers. Ha.
I did not realize ice had been found on Mars.
Good stuff:)
After seeing the Doctor Who episodes of "The Waters of Mars", Martian water makes me a little nervous...
Utopia Planitia was a name that I first heard on Star Trek and just figured was something they'd made up. I can't describe how excited I was to find out it was a real place. I love those magic moments when science fiction connects with science fact.
