Re: Re: Re: Re: Volume
Hmmm... 35 tons? Or less? So 1-0.3% water if 100 kg of vapour was seen. That's better. Kind of makes Bob Zubrin's dissing of the Moon, in a recent MarsSoc mail-out, seem a bit knee-jerky. He's arguing the Moon isn't the place to go, but Mars is - as he has argued for a couple of decades now. Problem is that Mars is at the other end of roughly 12 months (there-and-back) of soaking up cosmic-rays. Not too appealling in my book. Write back when we get the trip time down a bit more...
