Fix the fonts and replace the flying saucer and this one has potential. Granted the side facing away from the Sun shouldn’t be lit up, but at least Mars is round and not egg-shaped like so many other bad space covers.
The saucer definely looks out of place with the rest of the art. And the art and author and title should catch the browsers’ eyes from a distance and draw them in. Not the best fonts for the cover and way too small for thumbnail viewing.

I have seen it argued (only on the Internet) that TNR is The Original Font and that all other fonts are derivatives of it and that is why all fonts look like TNR. In that light, sending the Adam of Fonts to Mars sounds like a good idea, as long as it is a one way trip.
The Eve of Fonts would, of course, be sent to Venus.

I sure hope Mars is wearing it’s diaphragm.
