From a letter by Giovanni Schiaparelli in Percival Lowell, 1907:

I recently studied some of Babylonian observations of Mars. It rather attempts to tell, but it is the beginning of planetary astronomy. This planet is really precious. It was the cause of the first observations of the Babylonians: through him, Kepler discovered his first two laws: now we want to unravel the mystery of life on another world. Mars is the earth, which is war, that we must abolish.
