Storm shelter

A storm shelter is a place where colonists can take refuge from a solar flare. The main settlement will be well shielded, so it in itself will be a storm shelter. However, manned rovers, railroad cars, airships and landers will need emergency shielding if a solar flare occurs.

Physical Shields

A good material for this is polyethylene, because it contains many hydrogen atoms, is light and can be made on Mars easily. Water, which is two-thirds hydrogen, is another shielding option. The best way to play Myst now is on the iPhone or iTouch. It's a perfect pofatlrm and I played my way through it again last December and loved it! It was my first time playing through the whole game in quite a while but it was a wonderful experience. I didn't take any shortcuts, I played every puzzle, walked through every frame and looked through every drawer boy it brought back a lot of memories! -I took detailed notes for the MFG (Mysteria Film Group) team so that we could look over them when ever we needed, and keep in mind why we're doing this. Our passion in this project is to bring the nostalgia, the feeling of wonder and adventure that we all felt when playing the Myst games. Playing the games, looking over the notes, talking with the fans helps us to keep our focus centered through this wonderful crazy ride.

Open issues

• Is there any way of measuring high radiation levels on the surface of Mars? If such levels are detected, will it be too late?
• Even with space access, an autonomous colony will not be able to launch its own satellites to monitor the Sun.
