[QUOTE]Originally posted by Timo: [QB] It would seem the terraforming project came to nought in any case. Even with the much less brute-forcish "Home Soil" technique, there would have been enough moisture for vegetation in less than a century; we see no vegetation on Mars in the 2370s. It may be that Mars always got the short stick as far as colonization projects went. There'd be competition from interstellar colonies, within just as easy a reach and offering preexisting Class M environments. There'd be other uses for Mars, perhaps as a natural reserve or a source of iron and light metals for starship construction; such use would not benefit from terraforming, and continued cometary bombardment would probably be frowned upon in either case. Heck, perhaps the Martian colonists gathered enough ill will through their Fundamental Declarations and whatnot to ensure that the planet would never get funding for anything constructive.
