Well are you? I am ever since I read KSR's Red Mars when I was like 13. High quality mars pictures are almost like pornography to me Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
Definately a closetcase marslover here, while the intriguing red planet has sex appeal I feel that our moon from costeffective perspective is a much better stagingsarea for the colonization of the solarsystem...
Heh. I, too, was heavily influenced by KSR's RGB Mars. Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! Now that I have the opportunity... Does anyone has a link to a high quality map of Mars?
I also read the Red/Green/Blue Mars trilogy when I was about 13, while on vacation. Red Mars probably had more of an impact on me than my parents.
