How much does plywood go for these days? I also heard the brave "Mars Astronauts" did not stay at their Research Station during the cold Earth winter. Very realistic huh?

That FMARS is NOT made of plywood and it didn't cost the Mars Society a couple million dollars. Note the name is FLASHLINE Mars Analog Research Station and Discovery Channel and FINDS all had a hands in pay for the Hab. BTW, The US Mariners blew the final drop of the fiberglass flooring.

BD wrote: Dishonesty? Name one thing I have ever been dishonest about? You on the otherhand have been selling people on dumb ideas about colonies living on Mars. How many members do you have now? - 500 or 600 and dwindling? Obviously the theatrical tactics to play "Man On Mars Scene One" has already been made in several B movies about the subject. I suggest you watch "Mission To Mars" for entertainment.

Chris write: Yes, dishonest! Saying we have a plywood fort is dishonest! Saying no science is being done at Devon Island is dishonest! Intentional neglecting MDRS as another Hab and The Translife Project is also dishonest. You continue to write lies that fit your mental state. I suggest you watch Andromeda Strain as a SF movie and not as documentary.

PS The Mars Society is not a military organization thus we have no admirals or captains. Get a clue!
