Talk:A Martian Odyssey

Untitled

 * What about the controversy from the obvious colonialism and imperialism of the character (and possibly the author) that most foreigners can't be understood and anything of value must be taken from them?


 * Answer: Weinbaum was trying to make his Aliens more strange, for while humans can be understood easily, the unusual phsycology of Tweel lends more to his martian heritage. Tweel, also, gives WILLINGLY to Jarvis and his crew. He is portrayed as a highly intellegent creature, fully capable of understanding people where they don't understand him (well, technically it, because he has no gender).


 * I think that's more of a reference to how Jarvis stole the crystal from the barrel creatures. DS 14:35, 22 August 2007 (UTC)


 * Re dates, a footnote to Parasite Planet dates the partition of Venus at 2020. A Martian Odyssey states that Venus has not yet been colonized. This means that Venus must have been colonised by several nations between the date of the first Mars landing and 2020. Assuming roughly a decade of colonization puts the date of the Ares expedition at circa 2010. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Marcus Rowland (talk • contribs) 20:48, 8 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Actually Martian Odyssey states "Except for a half-dozen moon expeditions and the ill-fated de Lancey flight aimed at the seductive orb of Venus, they were the first men to feel other gravity than earth's, and certainly the first successful crew to leave the earth-moon system." There is mention of "the ill-fated de Lancey flight aimed at the seductive orb of Venus" and "motors of the twenty-first century" but not much else.--Professor Phantasm (talk) 02:47, 14 July 2018 (UTC)
