Will do Maggie!
I think we need to discuss the basic issues of whether
or not people have the right to terraform Mars, to
what extent, and how knowledge gained might help us
re-terraform Earth. What does eveyone else think? This
is for a panel discussion at the Mars Conference in
Toronto. Let Maggie know at Mzubrin@aol.com
also: What is the chance of setting aside some
evening time (at least 2 informal after-dinner hours)
for an in-depth discussion about sustainable life
support issues, especially the work we are doing in
the Green CELSS Task Force to create a viable
human-rated Controlled Ecological Life Support System
(greenhouse) for F-MARS and for planet Mars. From
communications with other interested parties I know
this would be very well attended. I have videos of
BIOSTAR-A and of Biosphere 2 which would be perfect to
initiate discussion - if a VHS VCR/TV is available.
What do you think? I am very interested in
facilitating the discussion if a time and space can be
allocated.

My thoughts:
If we have access to rooms in the conference center after hours, we could
easily have one or two evenings of life support workshopping ad hoc. All the
other Mars Conf's I've been to have had lots of well attended ad hoc
groupings.
I think a terraforming panel is or should be a tradition at MS Conferences.
If for no other reason that the audience will leave each year, knowing more
about comparative planetology between Earth and Mars than they did the year
before. THAT kind of knowledge is very important for people to take away to
be disseminated to the public. Maybe even moreso than details about this or
that mission or technology.
