Little by little, the invention of Capitalism resulted in changes, so that in 2026 on Earth, very few humans are directly employed in support of agriculture. Have to be a little bit pedantic here.

Team, In my opinion this forum (new-mars.org/phbBB3) is the wrong venue for a project that includes a large number of young people. The online forum format is 1990s technology. It was arguably obsolete before our target audience was even born and certainly is now. You might have noticed that there w...

the issue is not that we can not glue mars together is that mars is not uniform at the sites we are visiting. They each have wide missing ingredients to make a unified regolith simulant once ground up that works as advertised. Making a mental note to look deeper into the issue of what resources are...

I don't see that. I have the MCP but the tabs are horizontal for me instead of vertical. Are we on the latest version of the software? That would be important for security. See screen cap.
