Not so, think of all the radiation Io receives.
Won't industry itself be terraforming (PFCs anyone?)
Last night, I dreamed of being a third person observing the life of a married couple.
It began with a slaughter of mass people at their wedding and then finally led to the mans death by warlocks wearing a white cloak with a blue hood and where horse masks.
The summoned a house to drop on the man and the woman cast a spell to repel them but they stabbed her to death.
Then I was in my own bathroom where the was two toilets.
The End.
BTW I watched half of T3 : Rise of the Machines before I weant to bed.
I had to choose:
B1) It would trouble me if colonization began *only on the basis of* mining and exploitation
Because just:
B1) It would trouble me if colonization began *only on the basis of* mining
Wasn't an option
Why would the Libertarians want Mars?
Only the Red Party(Akin to Earths Green) party and the Socialist want Mars :b.
With the right tech clark, any place can be peaceful.
As long as there are no bunnies.
As long as there is no clark there either.
In this Solar System?
Mars of course, I hope to retire there after servicing as Captain of the TSV-89B7A-Enterprise which of course comes with the standard Alcuiberre Metric.
But outside this Solar System I'd like to take a stroll in my ultra heat resistant spacesuit on 51 Peg-A.
Did you know that Iraq was going to use the Euro just prior to the way?
Interesting aye?
American Economy most likely won't even suvive another 15 years on Earth.
I bet 50 cents with intrest that by 2100 Mars will be a Socialist Democratic Republic.
Here is how you should've done the topic:
"I am very impressed by the content of the websites redcolony.com and marssociety.org and there is without a doubt in my mind, that quite a few of you have the potential to let us achieve our mission to colonize the red planet
I would, like to inform you about the Mars Frontier private space industry. We arose out of the chaos of President George W. Bush?s plan to send us back to the Moon. While the moon does hold great aspects of the need of humanity, Mars is of greater importance. Mars give us the ability to create a self-sustaining world, which could provide Earth, the Moon, and Mars with much of the material we need to survive as a species.
We recognize the importance of the International Space Station to the study of zero gravity and to provide further information about living in space in general. However, we also believe that it is critical to the development of the ISS to be privatized and be under control by those willing to invest into it.
We, at Mars Frontier, have decided that while NASA is left to its internal affairs that we will set up a Mars Direct style mission Mars, we at Mars Frontier are inspired to follow in the works of Zubrin to establish a self-sustainable colony on Mars, but first to explore the red planet at a close.
Our mission statement is to provide the world with a viable plan to colonize extraterrestrial worlds within our lifetime and if possible perform these actions. Mars Frontier plans to publicize its existence as a public industry involved in aerospace and astronautics within ten years time. This will give us sufficient time to construct a business infrastructure and develop the resources needed to increase public awareness of Mars Direct.
We optimistically wish to seek out those who specialize in geology, biology, astronomy, physics, and engineering.
To collect profit, we plan to allow investors to collect shares upon on our company. If you would like to contact us you can find us at,
Heres a scary thought :
More than half of all stars host life, and all of them hate humans...
...
And they have faster-than-light travel too
...
....
Run.
Interesting.
Oh and I have wikipedia as my home page
Banning firearms is a good way to start a civil war in the US.
If you campaigned on that
A.) you would never win
B.) Someone would cast their 'ballot' from a rooftop and you would have .50 caliber hole in youDon't take either of these guys seriously, there is some major league troll bait being set out.
I have refrained from joining in, preferring to watch genuis at work.
I called for the end to projectile weaponry, phasers of course are still welcome.
Interesting Idea, however who would take over?
Boeing?
Boeing in Control + People in league with Boeing(Can you say a communications module on the ISS by Virgin Wireles)
I would exchange oil for nuclear weapons with the US.
I agree, before we leave LEO we should atleast have a craft to rival that of the Saturn V.
We simply don't have the reliable technology to leave LEO yet.
Loyds Martian Diary - Log Two.
Dear diary, spent all night in the greenhouse, fascinating some of the water plants they have here. I decided to visit the community library and was quite sadden to see the lack of Martian fiction. The Armstrong landed today delivering about 25 scientist and God only knows what else.Heard about a bar fight over in Trebuchet's city, wonder if clark was involved... what am I saying, of course clark was invovled. Hope he makes it... he owes me money.
Loyds Martian Diary - Log Two-B.
Dear diary, I've been studying C.C. logs and quite frankly he scares me, I wonder if he was thrown out of the airlock a time too many.

Loyds Martian Diary - Log One.
Dear diary, I have come to the long awaited event of my life, I feel that all of my achievements have lead up to this moment. I am on Mars, and I am free. I've settled into a relatively small community near Noctis Labyrinth. I find it peaceful, by day I hope to try to contribute to the terraforming political efforts, however right now I'm just medling in the greenhouses, interesting plants... some like no terran ones, but what can you expect when you have people like clark running around on this planet you might expect a few other wacko's too.
Tonight I couldn't sleep, so I went out on a stroll around the town square, or cirlce, or hexagon, or whatever it is to find nothing but restless children, obviously native borns some of them were already nearing my height. Afterwards I decided to take a lil' Mars-walk. Not much to see, alas I hope to one day breath this alien air into my own nostrils.
We'll see what tommorow brings.
Who says we can't have pizza!
All we need is a Cow, Wheat, and Tomatoes.
We'll give you Ur-238 for nuclear reactor if you give us swiss cheese.
The President can't ban guns, it's a right guaranteed by the constitution and supported by many Supreme Court decisions.
-The thing is I'm not banning guns, I'm prohibiting those that use bullets .
Abortion is already legal.
-But its under clinic control.
The US economy is already globalized. How would a confederation of nations be different from the UN? Maybe they could adopt the old confederate flag?
-We don't have a global currency.
A 5% national tax would provide only 1/10th the income the government needs.
-The tax would apply to business and homes, business would be taxed variously.
Decrease government spending by cutting what?
-Reducing military by 25%.
Reform welfare for only elderly and disabled? Are you going to let jobless mothers with children become homeless and starve? Free health care for all? It would cost 100's of billions. How are you going to pay for it? Raise taxes?
-Have you ever heard of Canada?
The postal service has always been a governmental service.
-There is movements to privatize it.
Convert all roads to asphalt? Why? How are you going to pay for it? Raise taxes?
Cement can't handle extreme loads, gravel tares up tires.
By the way, you've probably never been down a Southern dirt road have you?
Free drug rehab? How are you going to pay for it? Raise taxes?
Yep.
Incentive hell, as the President you just direct NASA to build a CEV.
Public Image, I'll tell em' to do it or lose their job but the public doesn't have to know that .
My fellow Americans, I promise to fulfill the following in my office.
-Ban all civilian use of projectile weaponry based upon combustrion and projection of a lethal body into a human.
-Legalization of Abortion however being under strict Government Clinic control and have other alternatives promoted first.
-Eliminating the death penalty.
-Full support of the United Nations and initiatives toward a globalized economy and a confederation of nations.
-Creating an initiative for all U.S. coorporations to switch over to fuels other than those based upon hydrocarbons, and an initiatve to end all use of oil in the U.S. by 2040.
-Remove all tarriffs.
-Stabalize a national tax of 5% for Government from the people for the people(aka. Health Programs, Education, etc...)
-Decrease government spending.
-Reform wealth fare to be for only the elderly and disabled, and to provide health care to every citizen free of charge.
-Government control over postal services.
-No government handouts to industries and strict enviromental laws.
-Penalize businesses that use underhanded means to elimate competition.
-Restrict Nuclear Fission Power and diverse Government funding of Nuclear Power to Solar and Fusion power plants.
-Convert all roads to asphalt and set a national standard.
-Legalization of Marijuana and Non-addictive Mind-Altering drugs less harmful than Marijuana , and free rehabilatation for drug addicted citizens.
-Provision of work by the government for those with out jobs.
-Create an incentive for NASA to build a CEV based on the Shuttle HLLV.
Carbon based oxygene breathing intelligent life exclusively or almost might seem dull, but actually I like it. Think of all the various shapes, textures and colours they might have, since carbon can be used for the base of almost any colour.
Plant life on Earth seems predominantly green, but I've read that's only a coincidence, Green doesn't absorb light very well. On an alien world what goes for plants might be bright red, cyan blue or even black.
Aside from bilateral symmetry, a radial symmetry, like starfish and urchins might be as successful, I think.
On the other hand I don't believe aquatic lifeforms will ever develop a technology, at least not on their own. It seems to demand the use of fire and how is that supposed to happen?I'm sure they are out there. Maybe 43,5 lightyears from here. Now, where's my photon rocket?
