New Section: Old Articles |
I'm working on a Terraforming article called PFCs. These handy things might be responsible for terraforming in the near future. Special thanks to Kian Cochrane and Alexander S. of the Forum.
Also, I have introduced a new section called Old Articles. This feature is an archive of all the articles on Red Colony.com that were written prior to December, 2000. Enjoy!

Archives Up and Running |
The Archives are up and running. If you have any ideas or have done any research on PFCs, please email me here. I'd like to hear your thoughts on how perfluorocarbons might assist in the terraforming of Mars.

New Article: Perfluorocarbons |
The PFCs article has been completed. If you've ever wondered exactly how we will terraform Mars, this "super-greenhouse gas" is the answer.

Mars made a grand appearence in the February 2001 issue of National Geographic. Kathy Sawer of the Society wrote an article about the Red Planet, featuring the recent discoveries of ancient water on the surface. Along with the magazine is a high-resolution map supplement showing an in-depth view of the entire Martian surface including names of landmarks. You can read the article here.

New Article: Mechanical Plants |
The Mechanical Plants article by Jim Keaner has been released, along with it a whole new way of thinking. Keaner proposes building machines that produce the components necessary for terraforming, while working hundreds of times more efficiently than plants.

Apologies to Jim Keener |
My appologies to Jim Keener, who wrote the recent Mechanical Plants article. I had mispelled his name in several cases on the site. His article has received a very positive response from the scientific community. If you haven't yet read his article, I highly recommend it.
