Letter: Letter: Little green men

Published 24 March 1990

From RICHARD WILSON

So, long-distance space travellers can look forward to space sickness,
loss of red blood cells, loss of minerals from bone and atrophy of the muscles,
inter alia (This Week, 3 March). Is this why visiting men from Mars are
always little and green?
