Mars Base Zero

At last! I got the photos I took while I was closed inside
Mars Base Zero back, and uploaded them to the web. I have
linked them from the links page:
http://isecco.org/projects/celss/marsbase/2004/04_index.html
or you can go directly to the photo link page:
http://isecco.org/projects/celss/marsbase/2004/photos.html

Due to the fact that our web page is almost maxed out in
terms of space, the photos are loaded on my personal web
site (which resides on a friend's computer--Thanks Matt!)
Once in awhile his computer is down; if you try to access
the photos and it fails just try again later.

Most of the first roll is not of Mars Base Zero, but of the
end of my sailing trip to Hawaii. Feel free to skip them if
you want...(ie I was lazy and didn't break the roll into 2
files).

I stopped by Mars Base Zero the other day to pick up some
books I'd left. Sure was strange to have it cold inside,
with snow on the south half of the garden area. Wish I
could have stayed longer. Next year?

I would like to thank those who contributed to our cause.
We very much appreciate the help; it puts us that much very
close to being able to install our electrical system--which
will allow us to operate on into the winter next year.

We have a few projects to work on over the winter. I have
laid out how to utilize more space in square F; to do this
we'll have to build some planting trays and a platform
affair to let them roll back and forth to allow easy access.
Another possible project is to build a compost "machine";
and another is to make a human waste sterilizer. Not sure
how many (if any) of these we'll get to...

Through the dirt, to the Stars!
