What an amazing job you are doing Kim. I did a vaurtil tour of the 7 Wonders Creation Museum today, read a lot on your blog, and added some neat stuff on the  Market Site  about the Mystery Rangers Radio Adventures and Market Day! I will be busy in the studio this weekend editing and getting Episodes 1 & 2 ready, as well as the  bloopers . LOL Thank you for such an amazing opportunity. It is an honor to share these adventures with you, Ranger Jen, Ranger Jack, Kid Reporter Kaylee, Question Artist Kimberlee, Lloyd & Doris Anderson.

several black spots near Arsia Mons, suspected to be caves
cave with sunlit wall

Natural Caves have been found near the volcano Arsia Mons on Mars.

The caves are a possible location to establish a human settlement. They could be re-constructed to become big habitats. The caves would provide shelter and plenty of space for housing. They could, perhaps, also be a source for water and rare minerals.

Open Issue

  • Is there a danger to occupy volcanic caves for human settlements due to possible volcanic activity?
  • Nobody knows the actual geometry of the Martian caves and whether they are usable or not. An exploration is necessary to find it out before the start of detailed planning.
