“Made of the Future!”

Arthur is having a discussion with Professor Harlow, claiming that as long as man is alive on Earth, there will be wars. But the professor doesn't necessarily agree with that assertion. Arthur gives an example of how a group of people can band together to violently face a threat from the outside, and the professor conjectures that possibly a threat from outside the Earth would unite all nations together as one to ward off that threat, and possibly end war once and for all. That threat does come: from Mars!
