Is it just me, or does it seem to move and pulse when you look at it too? |

Where is Olympus Mons in that pic? Other side, under the cloud cover? (no, I guess it couldn't possibly be)
More importantly, what would the price of a lift ticket be?
Mith, have you read the Kim Stanley Robinson series?
And here's another novel you may be interested in reading:

terraforming? haha.
if humans are unable to keep intact their own atmosphere on earth, what makes you think they'll be able to recreate it on another planet? |

Poor picture. Centered or bulls eye compositions hardly ever work. |

Creation and maintenance are two different things. Terraforming is so far off you could probably argue we'll have solved the latter problem before we tackle the former.
Anyway, it does not hurt to talk about it. |

A lift ticket up Olympus Mons? Well since the mountain has a slope of around 3 degrees (I think) you'd have to be pretty lazy to want to get a lift up it. |
I was thinking along the lines of "the skiing would be great on the highest mountain in the solar system." |

Since it's just the moon doing what it always does, my vote goes for not exciting. Nice though. |
