Day 183: The Ice Warriors FOUR

Another interesting moment in this story is the death of Storr, and what it says about the way that science is treated in this story. Storr represents the anti-science movement, he resents all that technology brings and feels that it shall further destroy the planet, despite all the benefits that it could bring to his life. Indeed, when he discovers that, at the moment, the Ice Warriors' modus operandi is to attack the scientific base, he attempts to join them, as he feels that by destroying the scientists, good work will be done in the world, and he can assist in this regard. He soon finds out that this is a mistake, as he is promptly killed by the Martians, who see no use for him because they acknowledge that science is useful and that their major quarrel is not with science itself but instead with the people who are performing it, and they need science in order to survive. So, by having Storr die, this represents the way in which critics of the world scientific should be treated, particularly when they fail to listen to the words that are spoken from scientists about the future, as they bring things that will help you with your life, and if you choose to live your life without science, you may find yourselves in a spot of bother.
