Dr. John E. Brandenburg has argued that in the distant past, there were nuclear explosions, probably due to a war, on the planet Mars. Is he legit? How seriously should we take his research and conjectures?

Abstract: Evidence for two massive, air-burst, thermonuclear explosions on Mars in the past is presented, as well as the apparent correlation of the explosion locations with sites of apparent archeology. The explosions were apparently large enough to permanently change Mars climate from being Earth-like in the past, to its present barren state. This suggests that the Fermi Paradox, the apparent silence and uninhabited character of the Cosmos despite the abundance of extra-solar planets and life-precursor chemicals in the universe, may be due to agencies hostile to less developed civilizations. An immediate human expedition to Mars to investigate this matter is therefore urged.
