For the time beeing I should like to prefer anonymous working on this project. What I can tell you about me:
- I am living on Earth (in Germany).
- I have graduated master of "Elektrotechnik - Informationstechnik"
One of my favorite passions is the thought of an autonomous Martian settlement. I believe the colonization of the planet Mars is possible, and it is worth much more effort than the governments on Earth are willing to spend today.
A few days before I discovered the Marspedia project I had the idea to create such a wiki about the foundation of an autonomous colony, but I had no idea how to set it up. Surfing the Internet I discovered Marspedia, and all of a sudden I felt at home, glad to have found people sharing the same passion.
My Favorite Mars SF
Years ago I read "The Martians" by Kim Stanley Robinson. It is just great, although I do not really like the idea of terraforming. It is probably beyond our abilities. Recently I read an inspiring Short Story: "The Cascade" by Sean McMullen
What am I doing here?
For the moment I am outlining some rough ideas about the colonization, including general concepts, basic problems and open issues.
I like receiving feedback, and I like to give feedback. In a project like this we are faced with challenges and uncertainties very often, and hence need a culture of mutual criticism and enhancements. If anything I write in this project sounds strange or is hard to understand then I hope to see corrections or at least receive hints about it, and together we will fix it.
I want to go and live on Mars ...
... but only if the settlement is equipped to be really independent from Earth, with the ability to grow and prosper from their own resources. And I wouldn't go without my wife. Probably, there is no way to convince her. However, if living on Mars is comfortable enough, that is, the houses are heated well, and Earth is always virtually nearby, there might be a chance.
