[QUOTE]Originally posted by bX: [QB] It does make sense that they'd use local materials (again, where possible), but I suspect that they'd want a little shelter at least for starters while they are building that up and figuring it out. It's been awhile since I read Red Mars, but I thought that at least initially they used the Mars bricks to shore-up, supplement and protect the habitats they brought with them. Like from micrometeorites and dust, etc. I keep thinking about the station component, and while I adore the idea and I definitely see that as being an eventual need, a semi-capable ship would tend to serve all the purposes a station would. Like, quite adequately and have the advantage of mobility. I mean unless it was an orbital elevator or something, (but that's more an epochal development and not the sort of thing you tote along to a new planet, isn't it?) Incidentally how many colonists are we talking about? 40? 300? 1000? Because the immediate needs for those colonies are going to be drastically different. [/QB][/QUOTE]
