Default Building a Base on Mars

BV Colder than the Mars equator,but ice is a great insulator it does
not like going much lower than 32 degrees. Eskimos keep their igloo at
46 degrees with just a blubber flame with a hole in the roof. The
melting ice on the igloos walls gives them running water. On Mars this
running water and lima beans would be the soup of the day. For the Mars
astronauts it would be the soup every day except Friday. On Friday its
trout chowder. Bert
