OK you are now the official RORT court jester.

Hey, it's as close to mars as I'm gonna get. Well, maybe
Arizona.

More like Antarctica. Without breathable air.

By the way, one of my flying compadres spends summers (our winters) in
Antarctica and speaks of large ice-free areas. I'd guess that must be very
much like Mars. Sure wish I could go see....

You can arrange the whole thing on the web. Here's a start:

I'd go with one of the steel hull ships, if there's floes about.

Hey, go ahead. Let go of a little of that gelt. You're not
getting any younger, y'know!

Or better yet, talk to your friend some more. Has he got a spare
bunk?

But if you go, be sure and post pictures. Lots and lots of
pictures.
