NASA Design Study on Space Settlements

Yes, we have list member Al Globus to thank for this resource being
available on the web.

Those who advocate settlements on the surface of Mars glide along serene in
their assurance that such settlements could be built more cheaply than
orbital settlements. I think they can only continue believing this because
there has never been a study of a Mars settlement of comparable rigor to the
Ames orbital settlement study.

All,

I've just copied and started to read a study by NASA on all aspects of space
settlements.
