Isn't that the volcanic planet Mustofar, where Obi-wan chopped Anakin Skywalker to pieces?

Could you just go at least 24 hours before you let the cat out of the bag and ruin it?

That planet must have been inhabited by Al Gore and Hillary Clitorque in another life time. The jobs left, and someone left their air conditioner going, it sucked all the heat outdoors, and there you go.

I think I saw this in a movie once. Something about the first colony on Mars, and at the end, the Earth has a nuclear war and that is how the Earth appears from Mars. Was it "The Martian Chronicles"?

Nah - Fredski is too serious to drop something like that on us.

Good thing their spacecraft only have to fly in a vacuum. Could you imagine how unaccustomed to smooth control surfaces and fuselage they would be, if everything they are and have is made from wanahakalugi poi poi?

Is it a picture of Earth taken with a camera using sensors or filters tuned to a waveband outside the normal visible spectrum ?
