No one would have believed in the last years of the nineteenth century
That human affairs were being watched from the timeless worlds of space
No one could have dreamed that we were being scrutinized
As someone with a microscope studies creatures that swarm and multiply in a drop of water
Few men even considered the possibility of life on other planets
And yet, across the gulf of space
Minds immeasurably superior to ours regarded this Earth with envious eyes
And slowly and surely
They drew their plans against us

I wouldn't bother. I made it up because it sounded intellectual. lol
I was once in a big London hotel bar when an announcement came over the tannoy "Will the party from Mars please come to reception"! I expected to see little green men imminently until I realised that Rowntrees were running a seminar there. However that could have been a cover .....

What made you think I was talking about a fictional alien race on a vintage radio/TV programme? - I wasn't, I was talking real life!

I'm as mystified as you!
Since 1873
In 1873, Samuel Parks constructed a home and a water-powered gristmill along Breakneck Creek. Parks decided to have a post office placed in his home, so he received help from his friend Samuel Marshall to help establish it. The name of the post office became Overbrook. In 1877, the Pittsburgh, New Castle and Lake Erie Railroad was constructed through Overbrook, and had a station built there. In 1882, the name of the community was changed to Mars since the railroad already had a stop with the name "Overbrook". No one is sure how the name "Mars" came into being. Some say it was Park's wife who enjoyed astronomy, while others believe it was shortened after Samuel Marshall's name. On March 6, 1895, Mars was incorporated as a borough.
Yes, Mars, Pennsylvania.
