[sci.space.shuttle] Habitating Mars

thomas@mvac23.UUCP (Thomas Lapp) (04/24/89)

Here is something I came across in the USA Weekend in this Sunday's paper.
It was describing a discussion with a NASA research scientist about whether
or not Mars could be inhabited.  The comments included the facts that in
order to live there, we would need to raise the temperature 100 degrees and
improve the atmosphere.  It then went on to say that the authors of the
article felt it would also require:
" - Its own football team, to take on all visitors
  - Day-care centers
  - A New Age radio station
  - Automatic Teller Machines
  - Chinese carryout or pizza delivery
  - VCR tape rentals
  and
  - A decent deli"

Just something to brighten your day.
