For RobertDyck re new topic on Medical Plans for Mars and elsewhere in the Solar System.
Please consider copying some of your interesting and thoughtful posts about the Canadian system to this new topic.
The Chinese and the US are most likely to set up communities of humans on Mars.
Of the two, the Chinese may have the better medical care plan, but I don't know how the Chinese have evolved since the Mao days, when the Communist model was in play.
The US focus upon individual responsibility might lead to a situation in which individuals make arrangements for their own health care. However, the US examples shows that individuals cannot be expected to assume responsibility. The result is presence of individuals who have not planned for health care, and thus become burdens upon the rest of society.
In the US system, charity of good hearted persons appears to be the fall-back plan for those who have not provided for their own care.
The US system certainly seems to allow and even encourage full force selfishness to express itself.
There might be some advantage to that system.

For RobertDyck re impressive artwork!

Thanks for sharing this artwork! I'll bet it receives a positive response in Canada.
There was news of possible lifting of the liquor prohibition recently, but I'll bet the door slams back shut now.

A while ago I sent you a link to a paper about the use of the Bose-Einstein state to try to facilitate fusion. For whatever reason, I never heard anything, so I don't even know if you received the paper, let alone looked at it.
I remain interested in the basic idea, even though the gent who brought it to our attention has dropped out of communication.
As stated earlier, i think the challenge is to create the Bose Einstein state (which requires absolute stillness at near absolute zero) while the atoms to be fused are traveling in a stream toward the exit of a rocket drive.
Those two states do not normally go together.
I'd be interested in your analysis.
