[QUOTE]Originally posted by Stingray: [QB] Good point. But Federation terraforming guidelines don't apply to TrekMars. We saw government style missions in the 2030's (even though it doesn't fit with the rest of Trek, thanks again Voyager) and the first colonists landed in 2103. Before 2103, there was no warp drive or first contact. Afterwards, we were still at the absolute beginning of the Federation era. In the mindset of Cochrane's generation and the generations, before, terraforming Mars would make a lot of sense. Regarding life: Present day humanity has enough moral trouble with killing off an entire species of a horrible disease. I don't think the hypermoral Federation would be doing it on a regular basis. And to bring the Trek speculation back to Mars; there is a lot of debate over whether or not we should terraform Mars since we don't know whether there are or have been lifeforms. It is a major theme in the Mars Trilogy. Though the debate in real life is not so evenly distributed in the book, it is the general consensus that we should bring life to Mars and make it like Earth if it never was. And if it was, make it like it once was. [/QB][/QUOTE]
