Explanation:
Why has the planet Mars been a subject of many science fiction stories?
I would guess that since Mars is the only other celestial body in the inner solar system on which humans can walk, albeit with spacesuits, it’s largely the only game in town for extraterrestrial exploration and colonization. Discounting the Moon, of course, as sadly all those with Mars mania are already doing.
No living human being will ever set foot on the surface of Venus or Jupiter, Saturn, or any of the outer gas giants. Two other extremes are Ceres and Vesta, dwarf planets in the asteroid belt, but their low gravity is problematic. As is the temperature extremes of Mercury, which, being ti

Why does there seem to be so much more science fiction about Mars than Venus?
Why is independent Mars always portrayed as the scientifically superior planet in sci-fi when Earth would have such a clear advantage?
Is there life on Mars?
Probably because it is the closest planet, and it's the only other planet in our solar system that's in the ‘ Goldilocks zone,’ meaning it's just the right distance from the sun to possibly support life. The fact that it is so close means we have the exciting possibility of going there in our lifetime. And before we landed rovers there, it was commonly thought that what looked like canals through our telescopes might actually contain or have contained flowing water, indicating the possibility of life. Until the nineties, we had no evidence that planets outside our solar system existed.
Answer:
Fictional representations of Mars have been popular for over a century. Interest in Mars has been stimulated by the planet's dramatic red color, by early scientific speculations that its surface conditions might be capable of supporting life, and by the possibility that Mars could be colonized by humans in the future. Almost as popular as stories about Mars are stories about Martians engaging in activity (frequently invasions) away from their home planet.
In the 20th century, actual spaceflights to the planet Mars, including seminal events such as the first man-made object to impact the surface of Mars in 1971, and then later the first landing of "the first mechanized device to successfully operate on Mars" in 1976 (in the Viking program by the United States), inspired a great deal of interest in Mars-related fiction. Exploration of the planet has continued in the 21st century on to the present day.
Novels and short storiesEdit
First venturesEdit
Several early modern writers, including Athanasius Kircher (1602–1680) and Emanuel Swedenborg (1688-1772), hypothesized contact with Mars. Early science fiction about Mars often involved the first voyages to the planet, sometimes as an invasion force, more often for the purposes of exploration.
