Re: Colonizing Mars
Your Moon base idea has a major flaw, no water on the moon, other than that it's a great idea. a base on an asteroid would be a better idea, asteroids have water, some of them in huge volumes, as well as metals and other raw materials. so asteroid mining is really better than moon mining.
Of course as many here know I think colonizing Mars or any other planet is probably a lost cause but lets continue on anyway. As far as the radiation problem, without a much more significant atmosphere any long term colony would have to be either under ground or under a layer of some sort of protection, dirt? water? A localized and very strong magnetic field would help. Mars has too much atmosphere to allow a strong positive charge. As I see it the best bet would be to increase the atmosphere in some way.
