If you actually go on Mars, it will have a reddish (oxidized iron)color. From afar, it looks different. I think :)

Watch out for Sandworms... or Little Green Men, whatever the case may be.

Weeellll... actually...

We have 14198 years until the Butlerian Jihad, counting from 14255 BG as equivalent to the year 1955.

either way it's a d*** long time.

For space traveling: We still got 30000 years to Butlerian Jihad, 40000 to Dune, and 45000 to Heretics and Chapterhouse, so well, 2002...

I heard that Frank Herbert first planned to transform Mars into a Dune like-planet, then changed it. Besides that, Arrakis is the Third planet in the Dune Solar System, which would be the Earth in this case, and what I've read, Earth is a "Universal Park" or something...

AAH! The prequels are messing up my neat little timeline! I guess I'd better read the Butlerian Jihad books soon.

T = -11000 years... tick... tick... tick...

Only 11,000 years? Wow, even more chance I actually live to see it.
