The name is MARS, or Mars. No hyphens or periods, and it wasn't an
ackronym for something else. I believe it existed from the early
teens until 1925.

Re: The Origin Of The Station name "MARS" Laggan Sub
Maybe in the 1880s, anybody at Mars station could have sympathized with
the recently lost probe on Mars planet. No place wonderful and a damned
