The punchline, of course, is that when nerds look at vacation destinations in even the most brutal conditions, we have a different reaction than normal humans.
We don't look at a desert, ice cavern or crater and rule it out because bikini-clad bimbos on roller-blades couldn't get banana lime rum cocktails to our beach lounge chairs fast enough.
We think, Wow, that would be a great spot for a Mars Analog project.
Okay, okay so there may be bubonic plague ridden rodentia meandering about, or say, radioactive waste... and you know, maybe a lava flow here and there... but if nothing else, geeks love a challenge.
We can build suits for that. We can find habitats that allow us to survive in just about anything. Inhospitable environment? BRING IT. And then we can use that data for a potential moon base.
