Martian colony administrator threatens a Martian child. The Martians demand that the humans leave Mars, but a human doctor convinces them to reconsider. In Heinlein's 1956 novel "Double Star", humans have colonized the solar system, and a politician on Mars faces the civil rights issue of granting a native Martian species (who are second-class citizens) the right to vote. In Philip K. Dick's novel "Martian Time-Slip" (1964), a human colony on Mars is trying to cope with arduous environmental conditions. They treat an aboriginal race, whom they call "Bleekmen", with casual racism. In "The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch" (1965), Mars
Planet Nine perihelia also reached values where the objects would not be observed, requiring a population of Sednas significantly larger than current estimates. They then, after declining, fell to values low enough for the objects to enter planet-crossing orbits leading to their ejection from the Solar System, requiring an initial population inconsistent with current models of the early Solar System to explain current observations. Based on these challenges Shankman et al. concluded that the existence of Planet Nine is unlikely and that the currently observed alignment of the existing TNOs is a temporary phenomenon that will disappear as more objects are detected.
