	I did enjoy the steampunk in the SPACE 1889 RPG; with
	Edison's "Ether Flyer", the Martian Congo, British
	explorers in pith helmets and jodhpurs, native Martian
	aerial boats fighting tiny armored British flying gunboats,
	very cool!

	I also remember reading a circa 1900 SF story about
	Thomas Edison leading a retaliatory strike back to
	Mars.  It was re-printed serialized in the old Perry Rhodan
	books (brought to America by 4SJ Ackerman).
