Martian girl

(The Aquabats)

Here's a story that must be told
It's kinda' new, not very old
About a female martian with a wild grin
Big orange eyes and green skin
Blue was her hair
She came from way up there
She wore silver underwear
Almost naked but she didn't care
Why oh, why did she come from
Planet V?
I don't know woh who who

(Chorus)
Martian girl from Planet V
Will you marry me?
Wo wo wo wo wo
She came from outer space
She came to see
If earth was good
Wo wo wo wo
She got distracted at the supermarket
In the meat department
Wo wo wo wo wo
She's looking at me
She's looking hungry
Think she's gonna eat me!
Wo wo wo wo wo

She's not a bird
She's not a plane
She's got green blood
Pumping through her veins.
Saw a light in the sky
And then I found her
Now I'm having my own close encounter
She smiled at me as she fixed her hair
And then she kissed me
Right then and there
I started bleeding,
That's the weirdest part
'Cuz this alien's teeth were razor sharp!

(Chorus)

Woah, Oh Baby,
What a wacky alien she was
I'll tell you why, It's just because
She had an appetite that couldn't be beat
She came from space to eat people meat
I guess I didn't taste good anyway
'Cuz when she kissed me,
she flew away!

(Chorus)

Аэлита, a Rainha de Marte

Aelita (ou Аэлита, em russo) é um filme mudo de 1924, um dos primeiros a abordar viagens espaciais. Baseado em um romance de Aleksey Nikolayevitch Tolstoy, conta a história de um jovem que viaja para Marte em um foguete, onde lidera uma revolta contra um grupo de Anciões que domina o planeta, com o apoio da Rainha Aelita, apaixonada pelo terrestre desde que o viu por um telescópio.

O filme é disponível no YouTube (com legendas em inglês).



No mesmo clima "soviético", encontrei também um desenho animado da década de 80, "O segredo do terceiro planeta" (Também com legendas em inglês)

Marcianos

Por que as pessoas tendem a falar em "Marcianos", ao invés de, por exemplo, "Saturnianos" ou "Jovianos", quando se fala em vida extraterrestre...? Historicamente, sempre se pensou que Marte era o planeta onde seria mais provável encontrar vida. Este artigo de David Catling na Astrobiology Magazine descreve alguns exemplos sobre como Marte foi abordado na literatura.

Abaixo, a visão de Marte nas Viagens de Gulliver, de Jonathan Swift:

"Jonathan Swift (1667-1745), the great Irish writer and satirist, makes a curious reference to Mars's satellites in Gulliver's Travels. In the book, astronomers on the fictional island of Laputa (whose king is fond of solving mathematical problems) are said to have discovered two satellites around Mars. Swift details the orbital mechanics with reference to Kepler's laws.

Part III, Chapter 3:
"[The astronomers] have likewise discovered two lesser stars, or satellites, which revolve about Mars, whereof the innermost is distant from the center of the primary planet exactly three of his diameters, and the outermost five; the former revolves in the space of ten hours, and the latter in twenty-one and a half; so that the squares of their periodical times are very near in the same proportion with the cubes of their distance from the center of Mars, which evidently shows them to be governed by the same law of gravitation that influences the other heavenly bodies."

Mars does have two moons - Phobos, the inner satellite, and Deimos, the outer one. By they were not discovered until 1877, by the American astronomer Asaph Hall. Was the assumption of two satellites just a lucky guess on Swift's part? And was it also coincidental that he correctly guessed that the inner satellite orbited Mars in less than a day? (Phobos has an orbital period of 0.32 of a day; Deimos 1.26 of a day).

Kepler had speculated that Mars had two moons, and Swift was almost certainly aware of this. Kepler based his speculation on naive mathematical intuition: because Venus had no moon and Earth had one moon, Mars must have two moons as an outwards progression from the sun."

Cronache Marziane

(Radiovenere Grungers)


Cronache marziane, raccontatemi tutto.
E non dite che su Marte l'aria e' piu' pulita
siamo meglio noi su questa Terra.
Cronache Marziane, definisci facce nuove:
Non pensavo fosse vera quella storia del ciclope
non giocavo con il motore per far funzionare ruote.
Cronache Marziane, sono "guidate da voi ometti"
e giungono rotte come le ossa di un cane !
Cronache Marziane, vostra Istituzione.
E non e' vera quella storia delle celle degli "ometti".
E non e' vero che la gente sta acoltando certi "detti".

Marziani Noi,
