In order not to let that milestone in alternative history go unnoticed, I took two projects that I devoted to the trilogy long ago and gave them a little make-over. Although the story of Red Mars does not begin until 2027 with the journey of the First Hundred, the first manned Mars landing takes place seven years earlier, so more or less as we speak.
