Dearest Gordon, "The planets, in there various stages of development, are subjected to the same formative forces that operate on our earth, and have, therefore, the same geologic formation, and probably life, of our own past, and perhaps future; but, further than this, these forces are acting, in some cases, under totally different conditions from those under which they operate on the earth, and hence must evolve forms different from those ever known to man. The value of such material as this to the comparative sciences is too obvious to need discussion. Robert H. Goddard (1907) All my Best,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, De Peepster |
