The other planet Mars tried to invade was Venus. You know, the one with the rainforests and dinosaurs :-)

I've allways interpreted it as being the actual Viking landings. -Gnorn Absolutely! The Vikings landed in mid-1976, which I just about remember. Wayne's album was recorded at exactly the same time, one can almost imagine JW watching those incredible images and being inspired to write the epilogue. Back in 1978 when the album was released the epilogue must have been seemed almost contemporary. At the time I suppose the Martian images were akin to last weeks astounding Titan images, an incredible new and hitherto almost unknown alien world and utterly fascinating. Peronally I find the epilogue cheesy in the extreme these days and usually turn it off. Mind you, as a kid in 1978 it scared the devil out of me!

i kinda figured that, when he's trying to talk to everyone and no one answers, its because they know whats going on and have run off to warn their respective agencies. But thats just my opinion.

I thought that the martians thought that this "satelite" (if it is one of those) was an attempt of an invasion from Earth, they let rip with the heat ray (or something else) and it's destroyed. Then imediatly return attack by invading us again...
I thought the end was great when it just "stopped" very eerie... The wierd martian "hammering" noise, hammering... hammering... silence.... Quickly deadly, just like a heat ray...

The twin landers in the epilogue were spy missions...perhaps by the 1990s, Earth was planning a counterinvasion of Mars, hoping to sneak up on the Martians...
