Janelle listened as her classmates shared their thoughts. It was interesting to see which student focused on which issue. Personally, she found the cold to be the most unbearable problem, but clearly that was not true for everyone.

As Professor Flamsteed began to speak again, Janelle paid close attention. She knew that a question would be coming soon. When he made the room start to feel more normal, she was relieved. She eventually took of her space blanket, once she started to warm up again. And then the question. It was an interesting one and at first Janelle wasn't sure what she thought. After a moment, her thoughts became more clear and she raised hand to give her opinion.

"I think that studying Mars is a good thing. It is important to learn all that we can about the planet. Maybe that knowledge can help us deal with things here on Earth. But........I'm not so sure that terraforming is the way to go. Who's to say that we have the right to change the way things are on a planet that is not our own? And do we really need to live there? Studying, yes. Terraforming and colonizing? I don't think so."
