Is there life on Mars?: This popular 20th century song by David Bowie has inspired generations of travelers to visit "the Red Planet".

These posters published by the Mars Tourism Bureau (MTB) capture the power and the glory of Mars' most popular tourist destinations: Olympus Mons, Valles Marineris and the Seven Sisters.

I’ve seen things you people wouldn’t believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser gate. All those moments will be lost in time like tears in rain. Time to die.
