	JRM Mars - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The first, named Hawaii Mars, was delivered in June 1945, but the with the end of World War II the Navy scaled back their order to just 5 more boats.
		Though the original Hawaii Mars was lost in an accident on Chesapeake Bay, the other 5 Mars were built with the last delivered in 1947.
		The Marianas Mars crashed in 1961 and the Caroline Mars was destroyed in a hurricane while parked onshore in 1962.

	The Martin Mariner, Mars, & Marlin Flying Boats
		Martin, not having to bear the burden of prototype development, underbid Consolidated and was awarded a contract for nine machines, designated the "Model 120 P3M-1".
		Martin had built the three Model 130s at a loss in expectation of more orders and was forced to take a large writeoff on them.
		Martin continued test flights on the aircraft until November 1943, when the Old Lady was passed on to the Navy.

		Martin helps Annabelle with her science report which tries to prove that there is no life on Mars except at the most primitive level.
		When martin discovers that a silent movie in which he accidentally starred while on a previous visit to earth is to be shown on television, he travels back in time to 1925 in an attempt to force the picture to be re-shot with another actor in the leading role.
		Martin’s picture is taken as he captures an escaping convict, but because of a compound he was using his image won’t appear on the negative.

		Martin feared that in a few years when all these reasons for the increased expenditures had been forgotten, he and the Viking Project Office would be held responsible for not properly managing their funds.
		Martin Marietta's fee was targeted at $14.52 million, but the incentive provision permitted the company to earn more money if the contract was concluded at less than the projected cost of $299.1 million and it penalized the company for any cost overruns.
		Martin noted several discouraging facts at this session: by this date the start of GCMS science testing had slipped by six months (from early 1971 to October 1971); after four years of work the breadboard was just ready; and the GCMS was now getting too heavy.

		Martin would be very pleased to know his original intention of the Mars in a bomber role came to pass in their second career as waterbombers!
		Each Mars carries 600 US gallons (2,270 litres) of foam concentrate - enough for 21 drops of a 0.4% solution which is the standard used although it may be decided to use more or less foam as dictated by the Fire Boss.
		The Mars are maintained to the highest standards and undergo intensive repair and overhaul each year.

	Martin Mars
		The Martin Mars, the worlds largest water bomber, with a length of 120 feet, a wing span of 200 feet and a drop capacity of ONE MILLION liters (265,000 U.S. Gallons) of water during a single sortie (37 consecutive drops 5.9 hrs), it is truely an impressive plane to see in action.
		The JRM Mars was the production development of the XPB2M1-R. 20 were ordered the first of which flew in the summer of 1945, The fourth JRM-1 in summer 1946 and the fifth JRM-2 in the fall of 1947.
		The fifth Martin JRM Mars was installed with (4) Pratt and Whitney R-4630 (3000 HP) Wasp Major radials but was later retrofitted with the Wright R3350-24WA radials (2500 HP) to be compatible with the fleet.

		Martin Marietta, JPL's contractor for this study, was prime contractor for the Viking landers.
		Martin Marietta notes that "the most efficient [MOR MSSR] mission would locate the approach trajectory (and therefore the rendezvous orbit) and the departure trajectory in the same plane." This would, however, severely limit accessible landing sites.
		The active Orbiter fires its rocket at apoapsis (orbit high point) to match orbit plane with the third stage and raise its periapsis to 2250 kilometers, then lowers its apoapsis to enter phasing orbit to place the vehicles in the correct relative positions for rendezvous.

		Martin Marietta acknowledges that direct reentry carries a relatively high risk of inadvertently contaminating Earth's environment with martian microbes (that is, back contamination).
		Martin Marietta envisions a 313-kilogram ARD Mars sample return spacecraft consisting of a 98-kilogram microlander, a 20-kilogram microrover, a 96-kilogram micro-MAV, and a 10-kilogram SAMPEX.
		Mini Mars Direct (MMD), which employs propellants manufactured from martian air, is the brainchild of Martin Marietta engineer Robert Zubrin, co-author of the Mars Direct piloted Mars mission plan [read].

	VPNAVY - NATS History Summary Page - VP Patrol Squadron
		With a wingspan of 200 feet (61 m), the length of a city block, and a height of 48 feet (14.64 m), approximately four or five stories, the MARS was the largest aircraft in operation from its first flight in 1942 until the first Boeing 747 flew.
		The MARS type was born in the late 1930's with a contract from the US Navy for a new patrol bomber flying boat.
		The MARS was carrying 13,000 pounds (5897 kg) of cargo, which put it 8,500 pounds (3856 kg) over its maximum certified gross weight of 140,000 pounds (63504 kg).

		Martin continued test flights on the aircraft until November 1942, when the Old Lady was passed on to the Navy.
		The powerplants were upgraded to 2,400 horsepower R-3350-8 engines, the twin-tail was replaced by a tall single vertical tail, large cargo doors with electric hoists were installed under the wings with smaller cargo doors placed farther aft, and the internal layout was optimized for cargo and transport operations.
		Five more Mars flying boats were completed instead: the Philippine Mars, the Marianas Mars, the Marshall Mars, a second Hawaii Mars, and the single JRM-2, the Caroline Mars, delivered in July 1947 and equipped with 3,000 HP Pratt and Whitney R-4360-4T engines.

	CNN - Metric mishap caused loss of NASA orbiter - September 30, 1999

		There is strong evidence that Mars was once awash with water, but scientists have no clear answers to where the water went and what drove it away.
		Lockheed Martin, which failed to immediately return a telephone call for comment, is building orbiters and landers for future Mars missions, including one set to launch in 2001 and a mission that will return some Mars rocks to Earth a few years down the line.

	Face on Mars and Other Nonmysteries (Skeptical Inquirer Fall 1985)
		West of the big stone face, in the shadow of a pyramidlike formation, is a gridlike pattern suggesting a lost city with an avenue leading toward the face.
		A story in the Hendersonville, N.C., newspaper of February 16, 1985, reported that Dr. Gaverluk was speaking at the First Baptist Church on the meaning of the gigantic face and pyramids and the laser of tremendous power that have been discovered on Mars.
		Today's better parapsychologists are aware of such statistical pitfalls but a failure to understand them casts a deceptively strong glow of success over the results trumpeted in the early naive years of modern parapsychology.
