When Lowell spotted canals on Mars everyone though he was crazy, one hundred
years ago. He was wrong, but his willingness to offer up theories lead to
more exploration. That's why I find this theory interesting, because who
knows where it will lead. The Iron Sun theory at least we can answer in own
lifetime. -Edward
