Of course the game is not the same for everyone playing. Some never receive the chances to score points and so their game is cut short. Others are simply more lucky than the rest. They are able to take risks and and get away with them longer, seeming to play on longer than they really should.
"A stunning survey of the latest evidence for intelligent life on Mars. Mac Tonnies brings a thoughtful, balanced and highly accessible approach to one of the most fascinating enigmas of our time."
--Herbie Brennan, author of Martian Genesis and The Atlantis Enigma
"Tonnies drops all predetermined opinions about Mars, and asks us to do the same."
--Greg Bishop, author of Project Beta
"I highly recommend the book for anyone interested in the search for extra-terrestrial artifacts, and the political intrigues that invariably accompany it."
--David Jinks, author of The Monkey and the Tetrahredron
"Mac Tonnies goes where NASA fears to tread and he goes first class."
--Peter Gersten, former Director of Citizens Against UFO Secrecy

The author doesn't take into account "backslides" in our "skill" which have occured throughout history. Off the top of my head, I believe the lifespan in ancient Rome was akin to the lifespan we currently enjoy, due to their rational application of scientific methods and knowledge of hygiene and medicine. Then of course, the Christian church pops up, denounces all that science as blasphemy, and voila! Dark Ages, shortened life spans and a general lowering of the standard of living.
