Spirit of Wonder: Shounen Kagaku Club

The Scientific Boys Club, now in its 50th year, sets out to build a ship that uses the "Ethereal Current" to sail to Mars. According to a club member's wife, the universe is filled with Ethereal energy, and the club aims to test this theory on the Martian surface. The club's goal is to verify an old hypothesis that channels on Mars were created by Martians, but their findings contradict this idea, revealing no signs of life on the planet. Years later, a Mars expedition uncovers a stone bearing the inscription "Scientific Boys Club 1954".
