THANKS



ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

This book owes a clear debt to Robert Zubrin and David Baker, from whose
Mars mission concepts I have liberally borrowed. Thanks.
Thanks are also due to Mary, Levin, Toby, Julie, Malcolm, Ben, Becky, John,
Bonnie, Astrid, Charlie, Steve, Marta, and Paula, for reading, comments, and
general support.

All great and honourable actions are accomplished with great difficulties,
and must be both enterprised and overcome with answerable courages.
