<"No, I won't leave you Mars 'weenies' alone and no I am not presenting at any planetary conferences, because basically it's a done deal. Mars is covered with subsurface glacial water ice and Mars is covered with bacterial remains. What more do I need to know about Mars, except how to get there and colonize it? I prefer the direct approach. That requires solar powered hydrogen and oxygen cryogenic energy conversion technology and SSTO/RLVs, etc., in my opinion, and not endless bickering over your pathetic little pet theories."

What exactly IS a Mars weenie? 1/3rd the length, 1/10th the mass of an Earth weenie?

Would you care to share your impressive method of extra-planetary investigation with us lay persons? Or is it some godlike omniscience that you wouldn't be able to convey to mere mortals.

Oh, I get it, you think cause you can copy fundamental physical and chemical constants from a CRC and publish it on the web using some clever but very rudimentary HTML that you are now the clearinghouse
for the dispensation of absoulte knowledge about physical reality?

Wow, you know what a phonon is. Or at least you can copy it out of a book understanding the sentence but bereft of the faintest fucking clue about how that principle is used in SS or CM physics.

Do you understand what Nick Hoffman is explaining? Have you taken the time or does the thought of carbon dioxide being the prime volatile on Mars put such a nix on your escapist Martian fantasies that some
PSYCHOlogical defense mechanism rubber stamped it "rubbish" and you've loyally followed that subconcious ruling?

Maybe think about who the real Mars weenie is.....
