   Cool. Does the discovery of perchlorate change anything in terms of human settlement in your view? I mean we haven’t exactly made the Atacama Desert blossom as a rose.

   Probably not.

   I wish I could be there. Will there be transcripts available?

   That depends on how well I do.

   Adam -

   That’s cool. You just became one of my geek idols.

   Except, juxtaposing Mars & Rose always makes me think of that depressing (but good) science fiction short story about Mars “A Rose for Ecclesiastes.”

   Wow that’s great! I want to live there. =)

   Call me a contrarian, I think Venus has better long term prospects than Mars does… if we could just guide a few comets into its atmosphere.

   Regardless, even if it is impractical, thinking about terraforming planets is really thinking about the Creation. And that is exciting.

   I would be nice to hear a report when you’re back from the conference.
