TELE-MARS

Back in April, with the series finale of the American version of 'Life On Mars', I wrote about the Toobworld timeline as it applies to the Red Planet:

The 'Doctor Who' special "Waters Of Mars" can fit in quite nicely with that established timeline:

2006
Guinevere One is launched with the intention of landing on Mars on Christmas, but it is intercepted by the Sycorax.
('Doctor Who' - "The Christmas Invasion")

2008
NASA probe Phoenix confirmed the presence of water on Mars.
('Doctor Who' - "Waters Of Mars")

2032

A manned Earth mission to Mars, the Ares IV, took place under the command of Lieutenant John Kelly. (VOY: "One Small Step"; ENT: "Demons")

2035
Project Aries spacecraft lands on Mars.
('Life On Mars')

2041
A three-man mission landed on Mars.
('Doctor Who' - "Waters Of Mars")

2058
Bowie Base One, the first human colony on Mars, is established.
('Doctor Who' - "Waters Of Mars")

2059
Bowie Base One is destroyed to prevent an alien invasion of Earth.
('Doctor Who' - "Waters Of Mars")

2097
A new Mars colony is established.
('Mercy Point')

2100
Mars is colonized with several more settlements.
('Babylon 5')

2103
Mars is officially colonized by humans.
('Star Trek')

BCnU!
