	Aitken, Robert Grant (1864-1951)
		Aitken's 1910 review of contemporary research on Mars influenced future attitudes toward the possibility of advanced life on that planet (see Mars, life).
		Most significantly, he was the first to publicly endorse both the work of William Campbell (which showed there was little or no water vapor in the Martian atmosphere) and Simon Newcomb (which concluded that the canals were an optical illusion).
		If it rotates on its axis once in about 24 hours, we have reason to believe that it is habitable, for the conditions we named as essential to life — air, water in its liquid form and a moderate temperature — are undoubtedly realized.

		Aitken’s preface makes it clear that a separation of Church and State was maintained: the Congress merely recommended Aitken’s edition to Americans who wished to read a Bible and authorized only that Aitken freely print the recommendation.
		Aitken was not officially solicited to print his work, the Congress paid him nothing for his efforts, and no legal statement was made by the government regarding the use of the Bible in public schools.
		Although Robert Aitken’s long and successful career was distinguished by the printing of the first American English New Testament and Bible, he missed a place in political history in the summer of 1776 when his competitor, John Dunlap, printed the first broadsides of the Declaration of Independence.

	Robert. Aitken. A Zen Wave: Basho's Haiku & Zen ...
		Aitken Roshi is considered by many the dean of American Zen masters.
		In 'A Zen Wave,' Robert Aitken, who is a noted American Zenist and competent in Japanese, has had the extremely useful idea of compiling a small anthology of haiku by Basho (1644-1694), and providing each haiku with its own full commentary.
		Aitken feels that "Basho is teaching us religion with his nazuna haiku," and how the denial of the nazuna is, as Suzuki points out, "self-delusion" (page 75), and I quite agree.

		Jane Aitken, a longtime citizen, bookbinder, and printer of Philadelphia, was the eldest daughter of Robert and Janet (Skeoch).
		Possibly Aitken's debt was a result of a combination of a series of poor investments coupled with the bible endeavor.
		It is difficult to determine exactly when and why Aitken finally resigned from printing and bookbinding but it appears to have been shortly after 1815 for health-related reasons given that her obituary reported that she died after a "long and painful illness."
