i demand cameras in the women quarter bathrooms !

[Mr S]

If you're going to follow that road, I'd recommend the showers.

I guarantee, there's nothing sexier going on at their toilets than yours.  Unless, of course, you're into that kind of thing.  I won't judge.

I believe there should be an extensive system of surveillance that covers everyone at all times.

And for added awesome, it should be done with 50's technology.

[Hitler and Himmler stand in a small room. On a table there is a giant black box.]
Hitler: What is this giant black box?
Himmler: It presumably is a bug, planted by the enemy.
Hitler: Aren't we going to remove it?
Himmler: No - nobody can lift the damn thing!

We could make all the video footage we need for our space program from der untergang with alternate subtitles!
Genius!

Dear god no. At first Brainfreez^tm is awesome. Then it takes your soul.

I haven't read the entirety of both threads, but I want to ask:

Has the landing site been chosen?  If it has direct me to the page number that it is on.

We've decided on having the test colony be constructed in Canada, though I think we've come to any solid conclusions on where exactly in Canada. Or where exactly on Mars we will be attempting to land, for that matter.

Shouldn't that be the focus, then?  I think you can survey mars in google earth...

But not geological deposits. We need someone on that. Besides, it won't exactly be relevant for a few years,, unless you have the needed money right now.

we could embark on olimpus mons , for cheap magma forges .

\Fifth time so far, Mars has been geologically dead for half a million years. Olypus mons is just a pile of rocks and ice.

under like 1km or more there is still magma .

I doubt it. The core of mars has run out of fissile materials and has stopped rotating. So I'm not sure why you would expect magma near the surface when the hottest part of Mars' insides has gone cold.
We know this because there isn't a magnetic field, if the core was molten then there would still be one. But there isn't.

Yup, on Earth the magma is generally found at least 2 km under the surface in volcanic places. On Mars I expect we'd have to dig though at least 1/3 of the crust, or about 10 km, before we even get geothermal warmth.

Then again, we can still land on Olympus Mons, for 4 good reasons:
1. Proclaim ourselves Gods
2. Landing on the biggest volcano
3. Underground glacier for ice and water
4. It's close to the equator, making taking off easier.

We can also abuse the fact that the top sticks out of the athmosphere for an observationall centrum, and we shouldn't have much problem with dust storms when we get high enough. Problem is that the higher we go the more dangerous solar radiation becomes, and the harder landing becomes.

EDIT: Actually, Olympus Mons Is a bad location. It stands in one of the dustied places on Mars.
PS: Fun fact, Olympus Mons is so large you can't see the entire thing from the surface. It dissapears over the horizon. So when you stand on the top, you don't even notice it.

[Helgoland]

That would be a great Yo Mama joke, you know.
