.........American and Russian astronauts landed on Mars... in May 22nd, 1962?...!!! http://www.earth-today.com/ http://www.earth-today.com/images/ship2.JPG
I couldn't get the movie to download, but judging from the photo I'd say that puts Mars somewhere in Kansas. In fact, it looks like it's right off of Cooter's back porch.
Mars has blue skies? Did they go there in a tractor? Because that's what that bar is we see in the foreground, part of the frame of the driver's canopy on a tractor. (What's Russian for "John Deere"?)
