Great churches can be an inspiration to anyone, regardless of their beliefs or planet of origin. Near the end of the 21st century, the early space travelers of the human species managed to leave the confines of Earth and settle the small planet they called Mars with primitive technology and almost no genetic modifications. It's hard to believe that more than a dozen centuries later - long after the apocalypse on Earth - the impressive remnants of their communal sepulchers still spire high above the red deserts as a testimony to their trials and tenacity. From the cathedrals on Musk Complex on Meridiani Planum, where the first humans landed, to the dizzying heights of Or HaOlam on Olympus Mons, to the cliff side chapels along the geothermal shores of the Gusev Sea, to the frigid basilicas near Roddenberry crater, The Churches of Mars features facts and photographs of more than 200 Martian worship sites in stunning detail.
