Mars missions?

Do what?

"The requirement to do this is found in RFC 1812"

Reserved addresses

The lede saya martians are packets with a source-address that is "Resereved for special use" (and links to Reserved IP addresses).

That page doesn't say which of the addresses it describes should be considered "spoofed" or whatever.

There's no reason that packets from 192.168/16 shouldn't appear on an interface. They are not martians. This article doesn't say what kinds of packet are martians, which is sort-of a deficiency in an article on martians.
