Guys, we can't just ignore Nazis. I'm sorry I have to bring this up again, but we're going to mars. We're going to encounter Nazis in space sooner or later, then what? We can't "cross the bridge when we get there" with Nazis. Nazis don't work that way. Especially not Space Nazis. Ok, so we don't Third Reich. Of course not. We need originality. But, before we deal with the decadent Earth Federation, we will have to deal with Nazis first. Personally, I suggest that we try to make friends with them. Shit, they've survived in that moon base for so long, maybe we could ask for some help, you know?

But that might cause diplomatic problems with the Space Sovjets on Mars

[brainfreez]

i say we send communists on them and just watch .

after that we will have even more powerful allies - the communists .

[Nyan Thousand]

Call me old-fashioned, but I'm not a fan of the Reds.

[brainfreez]

Call me the red , but i am not fan of Nazi .

[Yoink]

Does that mean you're a Blue?

me ? oh , you mean nyan thousand .

-wall of quotes on google transilate

From experience in learning English and Italian, google transilate does NOT work for even the simplest sentences. I had a few friends that didint speak French as a first lauguage, and they did their project in English, then copy=pasted it into google transilate. I feel so bad for them.....

If we are going to speak a different lauguage, it either needs to be well known, or we need transilators. The 2 most prominant lauguages on Bay12 are French and English. If we go for German, then we are going to need to get a TON of people to learn it, we are going to need transilators, and teachers. Honesty, I originaly thought German was a good lauguage to speak on the colony, however now that I lay down all these problems I think... not so much.

I would go for either French, English, or both with transilators (Like Canada!).

By the way I changed the poll to something more........ pr. pro- produ....... productive *COUGH* COUGH* *CHOKE*

Edit; This has to be mentioned on the next DF talk.

Actually, that was one part my knowledge of German, and nine parts BS.

And NO NAZISM!

[brainfreez]

hey greatwryrmgod ! you cannot decide if we need Nazism or no .

[misko27]

But I can. No Space Nazis, No Moon Nazis, No regular Nazis, Hell, No Grammer Nazis.

But the Martian soviets are okay.

Spass Nazis/commies/liberal democrats aside, I have something to propose:


ON THE TERRAFORMING OF MARS:

Mars is cold.
Very cold.
In a long term scenario (and this has been mentioned before) it may be best to terraform Mars.
I now propose the first stage of doing this.
GREENHOUSE GASES
We all know (hopefully) about global warming, and that greenhouse gases are a major cause.
So we kill two birds with one stone.
We transport vast amounts of greenhouse gases from Earth to Mars.
This will increase our relations with Earth, and possibly even disguise the nature of our mission.
People will also be more likely to donate to a project to save the enviroment.
Also, it will make Mars more habitable, and possibly make a lucrative profit. (disposing of companies emmisions)
ALSO, another thing:
SPACE ELEVATERS!
Using our land in Canada/Antarctica/our own microcounty/ whatever as our first stop, we can create a glorified cable car to a space station, where we can build ships without having to escape Earth's gravity (save fuel), train in weightlessness, conduct !!experiments!! and make another lucrative profit with space tourism. (how much would we charge?)

END RESULTS: start of terraforming effort, easy, fuel efficient, way to build/ launch ships, probable lucrative profit x2, possible big medal for saving planet from global warming.
And they'll think we're good guys.

actually if we settle on the mars equator , it is 30°temperature points there . and i am find with that .

[10ebbor10]

1. We're planning to destroy Earth, not save it.
2. There are lot's of greenhouse gasses needed(Like, a lot.) We can't transport anything without creating more greenhouse gasses to move it.** Instead I propose we melt Mars ice layers, thereby hitting 3 birds with one stone:
            A: Liquid water
            B: Greenhouse gasses (That are captured in the ice)
            C: We get to blow up a large area of our own planet
3. A space elevator, by it's very idea needs to be constructed at the equator. Also, it can't be build in the timeframe of the mission*. (Also, don't want to give Earth an advantage) For going to space, I suggest using conventionall rockets, assisted by chemical drives to get out of LEO to Geo where they will be picked up by the orbiter.

*Cost way to much. To build it we would need to invest more than for the rest of the mission. Also the tech doesn't exist yet.
** Because we're talking about thousands of tonnes of greenhouse gasses, and probably even much more. (also, you can't just pluck greenhouse gasses out of the sky.)

actually if we settle on the mars equator , it is 30°temperature points there . and i am find with that .

It's never 30 degrees on the equator. In the hottest day on Mars, in the middle of Summer, it might be 20 degrees max at midday. The average temperature will always be -50 degrees or something. I hate it when people see max temperature 30 degrees and think that it's always that hot at the equator. That's an extreme, and temperatures on Mars are way more unstable then on Earth

OCCASIONALLY.
The rest of the time: ~-76. FARENHEIT.
Also is Olympus Mons on equator anyway?
I thought we were going there.
