I've finished Red Mars by Kim Stanley Robinson. I can see why it is regarded as a classic, but it is very dated (fax machines in the future!) and it goes on too long.
Here is my #Review https://app.thestorygraph.com/reviews/f09d15dd-bedf-41d5-89d9-15a6855b7cc1#scifi #sciencefiction #RedMars #KimStanleyRobinson #books #bookstodon #classic

@Ailantd They need other rovers for support and to keep the operators from going crazy. I imagine this on Mars, with characters like those in #RedMars who travelled in rovers. The one in the drawing looks a little bigger: 2 levels of 500 sq.ft. each aft, one 100 sq.ft. control deck forward. It needs a machine shop, lab backup toilet, store room, air lock, galley, and quarters, all tiny. Reactor and drive are below. It sounds like exploration with time for introspection.

Kim Stanley Robinson: Red Mars
I know: late to the party. But it is pretty great. Looking forward to the next one.

Localization of the first trip to the North Pole in #KimStanleyRobinson's #RedMars, with a stop at Chasma Boreale, where an Ice Miner was dropped by air at coordinates 41 W, 83 N to extract water for use in Underhill.
The first map is a polar projection showing the trip from Underhill to the North Pole.
The second map is a detail of the approach to the pole, drawn on an #ESA #MarsExpress image processed by @andrealuck , from here: https://mastodon.social/@andrealuck@fosstodon.org/110327396095633780

I've localized with certainty the landing site and base built by the First Hundred on Mars in September 2027, called Underhill. That's of course in Kim Stanley Robinson's SciFi Mars Trilogy, [Red | Green | Blue] Mars.
The key for this is the phrase:
"One day they came back excited, having reached Ganges Catena, a series of sinkholes in the plain a hundred kilometers to the southeast", around page 97 in Red Mars.And here are the maps 🤓 :

#SciFiPrompt "Space Elevator"
With cable and a counterweight,
I transfer goods, deliver freight,
In two directions: up and down.
And at my base, a booming town,
Beneath a sky of orange and bronze,
Is founded on Pavonis Mons,
Whose height and place along the equator,
Make it ideal for a space elevator.#poetry #shortpoems #riddlepoems #sciencefiction #mars #redmars #space #technology #science #poetrycommunity #writingcommunity

CW: Long thread/eof
There are so many good new books coming out every month, and it can feel like a disservice to those writers to indulge in backlist reading, but there is a lot to be said for revisiting beloved works of decades gone by. I am *so* glad to have read Temeraire at last - I haven't been this excited to read something I missed the first time around since I read #RedMars 12 years after its initial publication:

Why Not Mars. By Maciej Ceglowsky | Idle Words https://idlewords.com/2023/1/why_not_mars.htm
«The goal of this essay is to persuade you that we shouldn’t send human beings to Mars, at least not anytime soon. Landing on Mars with existing technology would be a destructive, wasteful stunt whose only legacy would be to ruin the greatest natural history experiment in the Solar System».
