As our minds turn to the landing on Mars in just 13 days, this great tribute to Red Mars

With Curiosity's landing on Mars less than two weeks away, the mind is turning more frequently to the red planet.

Great then to stumble across this tribute narration of the iconic first two pages of Kim Stanley Robinson's Red Mars, the first in his epic must-read trilogy.

Via Kerrie Dougherty and Glen Nagle (who has the wonderful honour of working at the centre of the vital communications during the perilous landing stage of Curiosity's journey - at the Canberra Deep Space Communications Centre).

Enjoy!
