Adding a touch of realism

You wanted Martians, you've got 'em, mate.
British, French and Italian scientists will travel to Antarctica so they can waste money pretending they're at a Mars base.

Someone should remind them that it gets boring down there and their fellow, more terrestrial-minded colleagues may not be above a joke, so be prepared when answering the door.

  1. For an encore, they can build a dome outside of Paris and live in a fully-enclosed, self-sustaining, environmentally-benign, Gaia- friendly commune. Just like Biosphere I here in the U.S.

    I mean, that ended so well.

    cheers

  2. Wasn't this done in Canada?

    Tape it as a reality show.

Rules for submitting comments:

1. No profanity. I maintain the pretense that this is a family-friendly site.

2. Stay on topic. A bit of straying and off-hand commenting is okay, but hijacking the discussion is right out.

3. No ad hominem attacks. Attack the subject, not the other person on the thread and keep the discussion civil.

4. No spamming or commercial endorsements. These get deleted immediately.

Tip: Beware of putting hyperlinks in your comments–especially at the end. For some reason, Blogger interprets these as spam.

Note: Due to the recent spate of anonymous spamming, registration for comments is now required.
