Yes, I agree - I realized that just after sending my previous message. I was
thinking with *my* head - the head of a wannabe space settler who does not
care if he will live in a spinning can or in a habitat buried in regolith,
as long as he is off-Earth. But then I remembered that the typical Zubrinite
wants to practice hiking in Olympus Mons and make marathons along the
Martian equator and appreciate the blood red sunset from his porch
everyday - stuff like that. ;-)
