Sounds fairly similar to a campaign I had been planning for a while. While I've never really settled on my aliens, I figured the Martians would be only vaguely humanoid, but remarkably familiar in culture once you get past the cosmetic differences. By comparison, Venusians would seem more humanoid but less human.

If I were you I would make Westinghouse the primary backer. Mostly so that you can throw in whatever weird tech you want, wave your arms around, and say "Nicola Tesla."
