The Martian - Sex In Zero Gravity (Red Planet, 1993)
The Red Planet will appear only when your mind is open.
Science ran too far ahead of us too quickly, and the people got lost in a mechanical wilderness, like children making over pretty things, gadgets, helicopters, rockets; emphasizing the wrong items, emphasizing machines instead of how to run the machines. Wars got bigger and bigger and finally killed Earth. That’s what the silent radio means. That’s what we ran away from. We were lucky. There aren’t any more rockets left. It’s time you knew this isn’t a fishing trip at all…. Now I’m going to show you the Martians….
— William Thomas, The Million Year Picnic (Ray Bradbury, 1946)
