[QUOTE]Originally posted by Mark Nguyen: [QB] Hey, you caught a good one here. Directly quoting Mike: [i]Yes, that was the intent [/i][to have construction on the surface of Mars][i], although I like the suggestion that it might have been a training facility. It was something that Rick and I put together in Photoshop. I don't recall exactly who did what, but I remember that the upper image uses a bunch of simple paper models that we made for use as a generic futuristic city buildings for exactly this sort of image. Rick may remember more about this. I do recall that we wondered how the components would be brought into orbit, whether they'd be beamed up, hauled up by space elevator, or carried by a huge orbital tug.[/i] The training facility idea has some merit, though I question what use a 1/1 scale replica would be, given that there were supposedly so few GCS in the first place, AND the simple fact that you'd have a holodeck to accomplish most of it anyway. Mind you, that could just as easily be a Nebula-class ship down there... In any case, I prefer the "build on ground, bring to orbit" approach, allowing a ship to be largely integrated under shirtsleeve conditions and finalized in space once the major structural work had been finished.
