Settlement

Artist's concept of a settlement on Mars

Settlements on Mars are planned to be a permanent habitat for human beings. The Mars Foundation™ is developing detailed plans for a Hillside settlement and a Plains settlement.

Additionally, a volcanic cave settlement and a multi-layered vault settlement are considered.

Hmm, Xbox controllers, Mission Impossible, Halo, J.J. Abrams free water what does it all mean?! What's the conenction? This will require further reconnaissance. BTW, love the fact that the display for your presentation was on a gray filing cabinet under a book entitled Myst Opportunity, with a herd of cones shaped roughly like a frowny-face close by. Not sure what that's implying. Maybe Cyan was sending YOU a code. Kidding! Maybe(?) muhaha. Thanks Isaac, Adrian, Cyan! This made my day.

Why settlements on Mars?

Compared with other celestial bodies, for instance Earth's Moon, the planet Mars provides a number of advantages. The Martian surface and atmosphere consists of all necessary substances that are needed to build and maintain a human settlement, including water, carbon and minerals. The environmental conditions are quite cold, but not too cold. The distance from the sun allows solar panels to operate, which is essential for energy production.

Particularly convenient is the existence of a visible sky, which can make people feel home, and the day-night rhythm is nearly earth like. Though the gravity is lower than on Earth, it still allows people easily to walk and do exercise. The spacial orientation is supported. The comfort of sinking into a pillow for sleeping might be appreciated. And yet, there are several things, settlers would miss.

You need to deal with the collection agieencs directly. After you pay the item off, request a letter showing you have a $0 balance, fax it to all three credit bureaus separately. (Equifax, Experian and TransUnion.) This is the fastest way to update your credit report, but it will still take around 3 months, as most places only update reports each quarter when it's something that will benefit you.Remember that all three companies listed above most likely have different versions of your credit report, so you need a copy from each place to make sure you're paying off everything.Once an item is paid in full, it will no be removed from your report for 7 years, even if you settle. It will simply show up as $0 owed.Good job for taking care of this, but remember it could be years before you see a significant increase in your credit score. These companies are very difficult to deal with and you will spend lots of hours on the phone and emailing, faxing, etc.
