Well our bretherin. our farthest relatives, i feel them as kin. We are inn the same system sharing The Sun as gravitanional point. With different aspects to nerd and get geeky about. Inspiration to both art, mythology and physics. Varies in size, shape, orbital tilt and character. They all feature something to marvel about. Earth is not in it cause we are actualy biassed to our relation to it. Pluto is also excluded for obvious reasons.
So which of our distand cousins do you gravitate your geekyness mostly towards. |

Venus. It's the only one that I've seen in broad daylight.

No, I know how to behave in the restaurant now, I don't tear at the meat with my hands. If I've become a man of the world somehow, that's not necessarily to say I'm a worldly man.

The Red Planet because it's the only planet with any possibility of sending men to land on at some point in the distant future.
![]() I also like "Mars" from Holst's Planets Suite, which sounds very much like this..... Edited by Psychedelic Paul - November 30 2019 at 13:05 |

When I first looked at that huge crater on Mars, I thought I could see a smiley face.

Yes, the smiley crater is the main reason Mars is my fave planet in the system that's not Earth.

From a progtology point of view, wouldn't Spock's Beard help to keep the Klingons off Uranus?

Uranus because it smells like a bakery and is tilted on a 98 degree angle.

But I think you were supposed to pick a different planet than Earth.

Jupiter will cry if I forgot Ganymede and Europa's wonders and vote for Saturn and its rings + promising Titan & Enceladus. Venus also scored when 15 years ago it passed in front of the Sun which could feel deliciously vertiginous knowing its size is similar to our planet's; NOW Mars can be the place where we'd see the Earth do the same, so in spite of it's disappointingly weak magnetic field and not so exciting landscapes, Mars cannot be 100% ignored.
As for the others, why don't we irresistibly listen for days to those who talk passionately about them...
