I, too, am an O'Neiler,

I've seen the term "O'Neiller" used before, but I prefer to refer to myself
as "one of Gerry's Kids". ;)

Mars
is a good planet not only for humans

Compared to other planets of the solar system, yes, but are planets in
general good for humans?

On a terraformed Mars, many animals will
evolve to the new environment.

But in orbital habitats, the new environments can be tailored to fit the
requirements of presently-existing animals.

Mike Combs
