The research of John Brandenburg suggests that Mars was once teeming with life, cut short by the detonation of two massive nuclear weapons. As a nuclear scientist, he is keenly aware of the effects of nuclear explosions and has discovered such tell-tale signs on Mars. As the eons have passed and the radiation dispersed, the red planet is once again safe for habitation. He suggests that the greatest memorial we can erect for the lost Martian civilizations is to resurrect the biosphere and bring life back to Mars.
