I would need the equivalent of a faraday cage, connected to a frequency generator, to sleep in.

I dont own/watch television, I prefer fact to fiction.

Two years supply, of every known single malt Scotch Whisky. I'd have plenty of time to compare flavours.

It relates to the development of technology, and where it might lead, and the human situation.

Another comment of mine elsewhere, to the question, ''where are all the aliens'' I suggested that Artificial intelligence would be a natural progression, ie. robots, and they would explore and populate the stars, not animal life, which is unsuited to it. AI life could design and adapt...

During the Steam Age Victorian times, a politician allegedly said something along the lines of, ''We know so much now, is it possible to know anything more?'' Our present scientists are in the same situation, they dont know how much more there is to learn about our universe. They are constantly...

Water is used to contain radioactive material, to prevent radiation reaching habitation/people, so a water jacket around a space station would be effective. It would also act as an insulator, against heat loss, and act as the general water supply. It could be purified by filtering, and any...

A greenhouse is designed to allow radiation to pass through, into it. Therefore it cannot protect you from cosmic rays or the damaging rays from the sun. If they block radiation, they cannot function as greenhouses. The solar energy, on Mars, in the range that Earth plants need, is too weak to...

There is a saying, that, ''anything the human mind can encompass, then humanity will eventually realise it.'' The question is, WHEN? Arthur C Clark, had expected humanity to be far more advanced by now, regarding space, than is the fact. eg, 2001 A Space Odyssey . Here we are in 2020, and...

Bye!

I apologise, I'm suffering from the ''grumpy old man'' syndrome, and due to a recent personal tragedy, (death) am inclined to be rather short tempered at the moment.

I totally agree with your conclusions regarding Mars habitation and colonisation, but with one comment. 3d printing is in its infancy, but, providing the required materials could be obtained, a global manufacturing base would not be required, when it has matured. Mining and converting the ores...

I consider the only way man can live on Mars, is sealed in totally artificial environment, underground, to protect from the radiation, from the cold, and the lack of a breathable atmosphere. That would apply to plants as well. You have to Imagine Antarctica, without air, or water, and bombarded...

I think you are living in a fantasy cloud cuckoo land. Venus is hot because it was probably a lump of material ejected from Jupiter, when it was his by a massive comet/meteor, which is why the ''big red spot'' exists. (Not just because it is closer to the sun.) Because it is so hot, the...

My Last Paragraph: ''One of the considered causes of the lack of oxygen on Mars, is its low gravity, that cannot be changed, so producing oxygen on Mars surface would be like trying to fill a colander with water, utterly futile! '' In addition, the main component of our planets atmosphere is...
