Excellent NSS article

Excellent NSS article
Dave Brody of the NSS has written an excellent article for "Ad Astra" which has also been reprinted on space.com. The article deals with the debate over whether we should or should not terraform Mars. At first the article seems typical of so many articles in this area in seeming to consider colonizing Mars or remaining on Earth to be the only two choices available to us. But he later attacks this limiting mindset, and then proceeds to a quite cogent and effective defense of the Tsiolkovsky/O'Neill orbital space settlement concepts.

Definitely recommended reading, and a delight to see a rare defense of our minority viewpoint.
