From: Terry Kok
Everyone,
I haven't heard from anyone other than Dean who is
willing or able to meet on Lothlorien. In fact, I
haven't heard much from anyone about FMARS at all.
Could this be because, according to Zubrin, there is
going to be nothing but a portable chemical toilet at
FMARS in 2000, and some sort of water recycling system
in 2001 (maybe)? He also said that a CELSS is NOT in
the plan for early Mars exploration, that
chemical-physical systems will be used instead. Of
course I argued for CELSS on Mars (and on FMARS) and
will continue to do so. Story Musgrave, who was
present at the conference in Ohio where I saw Zubrin,
also thinks that a CELSS is essential for the
missions. If a CELSS is not attached to FMARS there
are going to be a lot of disappointed people who
thought that Red and Green belonged together. "Where's
the greenhouse?", they will ask. The HAB alone will
not capture the popular imagination because it is
simply too much like normal NASA style imagery. The
greenhouse CELSS, on the other hand, shows a
connection to living things. Do folks understand what
I'm saying? - Terry at biostar_a@yahoo.com

Has everyone seen this signifcant Mars photo? Strange,
isn't it?

Terry,

I'd be interested in meeting you at Lothlorien. If possible, I'd like
to take a tour of your Biostar facility. I have tentative plans for a visit
to Chicago the last weekend of July--perhaps I can take a day to drive out
to your facility.

As for the e-mail silence--well, I think we're all trying to get a handle
on the direction in which we'll proceed. I think you are correct in your
assessment over the CELSS ambiguity. Most of us (I believe) would like
to work on some sort of system that would evolve and approach a closed
ecological system construct (although not necessarily a CELSS in the
strict NASA definition). As for me personally, I've discovered that I'm
not a very good e-mail conversationalist, possibly due to my impatience
with certain technologies.

Should I visit you in July, I hope we can take the opportunity to exchange
ideas and design concepts and solidify our organizational and design
procedures, in preparation for the August conference.

Regards,

Dave

Terry,
I (and I think most of us here on Maryland Task Force) agree with much of
what you are saying below. I may not be going to Toronto conference. So
coming out to Lothlorien probably wont include me this summer. I do,
however, look forward to meeting and talking with you about designing and
building living systems.

What is that structure in the lower left corner of the Mars image you
pointed us to?

Hoop

Sounds good David. We'll be throwing a festival
(Thunderfunder - to raise funds for a new drum & dance
dome) on July 28-30th. Anytime before, during, and/or
after is fine. Let me know a few days in advance if
possible. Of course you can tour BIOSTAR! There is
crash space available as well. Here's my phone number
if you need it: (812) 275-0694. - Terry

From: Terry Kok
I'm looking forward to discussing life support with
you too John. I've learned a lot about the nuts and
bolts of "Living Machines" in the last few years of
living in BIOSTAR. My system is very similar to the
diagram on the website. Through my mistakes I've
learned how to do it much better (and simpler). A
full-blown CELSS is not nearly as hard as some folks
might think. If Dave can make it before the conference
I'll put drawings in his hands. I hope to make it as
well. By the way, we are doing some pretty detailed
discussion on CELSS in the Green CELSS Task Force. If
you are interested, feel free to sign on!

THe thing in the left hand corner of the picture is
very strange indeed. I hesitate to guess what it might
be. There are currenly quite a few people doing
analysis (privately) on this. If I find out anything
useful I'll post it. Personally, it looks like giant
worm casings. I know that this interpretation is
considered (by some unscientific types) to be "crazy".
No so. Mars had water for a long time, long enough for
life to have risen and even long enough for it to
develop to huge sizes. We had dinosaurs! If
calculations are correct, Mars destructed (probably a
collision with a small asteroid) in Pre-Cambrian
(Earth) times. For all we know, much of the life on
Earth may have been seeded when Mars was blasted. I
don't know what is in the picture but I think it is
unscientific to discount the possibility of it being
the remains (fossilized) of life. Yes, I know it could
be something else. I also think that it is
unscientific to say that it IS anything at all - until
we get more data. - Terry at biostar_a@yahoo.com
