Olympus mons was a martian made launch pad that used the final amount of energy to blast a transport ship to earth. Systems failed just outside the orbit of the moon and the ship crashed into earth, killing all the dinosaurs.
I've read some speculation about Mars "dying" because it got 2 catastrophic impacts a few million years too close together. Mars got, I think, got hit 100 million years ago and then also seems to have been hit again when fat rock reset earth.
