Benford is a director of The Mars Society, an organisation set up by Robert Zubrin in 1998, just a year before this book was published and two years after Zubrin published " The Case for Mars". ![]() ![]() ![]() It emerged in 2022 that Brown and his ex-partner, Real Housewives of Cheshire star Leanne, had separated the previous year and eventually split.
