Here's the full list of this week's Mars-related predictions for the future. Hat tip to FastForward Posse members Mike Sargent and Robert Hinkley for helping us to keep looking ahead.
In the Future...
...people will be so smart that they will only need reassurance if an object passes within, say, 25 million miles.
...alterations will be included in the price of a suit. (See item dated August 22.)
...Martian colonists will sell Earth rocks on-line as a novelty gift item.
...every household will have its own Hubble.
...parts scavanged from vacuum cleaners and washing machines will also have a role to play in building Mars robots.
...Martian settlers will capture iceballs from the asteroids for their own use, while making a fortune selling bottles of Sparkling Olympus Mons back to Earth.
That does it for this week. I hope you all enjoyed Red Planet Madness as much as we did. And until next time, we'll see you in the future.
