Re: The City of Equatoria - A ProtoMartian Space Port

I have drafted a site plan for a prototype Martian settlement named The City of Euthenia.  This city can be regarded as the first phase of my Martian colonization program.  The second phase is my design for The City of Equatoria.  This city would be located on Earth's equator at about 160 degrees West longitude (near Christmas Island).  Its primary mission would be to serve as the Launch Control Center for huge, sea-launched rockets.  Each rocket would be able to carry 100 or more colonists to Mars.

The City of Equatoria would float on the surface of the Pacific Ocean.  It would look something like the saucer section of the U.S.S. Enterprise D (featured in the television series Star Trek: The Next Generation).  A vertical cross section of the city is posted on the web at [http://www.geocities.com/scott956282743/equatoria.htm]http://www.geocities.com/scott956282743/equatoria.htm
