Terry,

>No I haven't been. Like you say, it's still going and I'd forgotten all about it. As you may have seen from my recent posts I've been reading the AC Clarke book "Sands of Mars", written in 1951. So I get all the info I need about Mars from that :-)

You should read the Kim Stanley Robinson series "Red Mars", "Green Mars", "Blue Mars" and sometime this last year I read one "Moving Mars" by Greg Bear.
