Default Glorified igloos for Mars

William Mook wrote:

I obviously understand that NASAs analysis is superior to the rants made on this thread by clueless people who enjoy being rude to others. Recall NASA said ice could be used for shielding. Ice domes have been made on Earth and will be made on Mars. Glaciers have been identified and methods used in the arctic to build ice shelters are directly applicable to Mars. Obviously given the low gravity of Mars we can build far larger domes and illuminate them with inflatable concentrators using optical fibers.


This is how you know Mook has gotten his ass handed to him for his
screwups. He removes all context and simplifies his claims.

If he hadn't started out with the gratuitous insult I'd have just let
this one stand, since he's removed all the screwups he injected, but
if he's that determined to be an ass he's just begging to get spanked.
