The United States has invaded Mars. Perhaps accordingly, recent years have seen an influx of alien invasion movies not seen since the 1950s. A popular sci-fi topic for decades, let’s take a look at how 1950s and 1960s Martian movie poster designers imagined the opposite: Mars invading the United States. Looks like we’ll be in for far more than “7 minutes of terror!”
Invaders From Mars
Devil Girl From Mars
The War of the Worlds
It Came From Outer Space
The Day Mars Invaded Earth
Mars Attacks!
OK, so this was from the ’90s. But it’s still awesome!
Here’s a photo the Mars rover Curiosity took after landing:
This NASA photo is titled “Curiosity Snaps Picture of Its Own Shadow.” Looks like there’s going to be six more weeks of winter on Mars, which in Mars-time is about half a billion years.
Not exactly what we thought we’d see!
Red Planet Mars
Of course, we just got there. You never know what’s just over the horizon …
