Spirit of Wonder: Scientific Boys Club - S01

The Scientific Boys Club, now fifty years old, decides to build a ship that will sail to Mars on the "Ethereal Current", a theory put forward by the wife of one of its members claiming that the universe is flooded with Ethereal energy. Riding this stream, they travel to Mars to prove an old theory about channels on the planet built by Martians, but they find no life there. Many years later, when both theories are dismissed as nonsense, a Mars expedition discovers a stone inscribed with "Scientific Boys Club 1954".
