After World War Two, the new frontier became space, because everywhere else on the planet had been explored. Space held huge opportunities in military and civilian aspects, and the largest part of that frontier is the colonization of a planet. Man lives on a small planet on which we are slowly poisoning ourselves and most other forms of life that just happen to co-exist with us on this planet. People regarded Mars as a place that we could go if there was such a disaster that made it no longer possible to live on this planet. Mars could be a place where we could travel to, someday in the future, for relaxation, or for work, or even for a nice place to live. Mars also brings interest from the commercial point of view; Mars has hundreds of known, untapped, recourses that, if exploited, could bring millions of dollars to a company. The possibilities of Mars were endless to the people of the fifties, and the new exploration of the planet brought on a host of movies, magazine articles, and general public interest. Now, in the year 2000, we are planning to send a host of probes to the Red Planet, and there has even been a few movies made about Mars recently responding to the recent return of public interest. This report takes you from the naming to the planned missions of the future, explore the history of Mars from Roman mythology and it's naming, to Modern day exploration and the new mystery that surrounds it.
