Challenge 463: Terraforming
I was idly browsing around the NASA website when I came across this striking photograph of Phobos, one of the moons of Mars. It occurred to me that this would be a perfect location to build an off-planet hideaway - complete with breathtaking view of Mars, and plenty of peace and quiet. How might such a structure look? What sort of home could be built on this landscape? High res is here. And you can read more about Phobos and how this photograph was taken on NASA's website, here.  |

Wow ... that image is intriguing. I am afraid I won't be coming out to play for the next couple of weeks  as we are off on holiday soon.   _________________ "Check out the big brain on Brett!" Pulp Fiction |

Phobos: the perfect hideaway with plenty of peace and quiet. Mars cannot be seen in this picture because is behind the mountains.  |
