I haven't done anything on my science fiction story
"Felix" since last fall. This week I came across a couple articles
on-line about a proposal for Martian exploration similar to what I had thought
of as the back ground for my story.
Last year I wrote a blog post where I laid out how I thought
Martian exploration could proceed and where my robot Felix would fit it. You
can read it here: http://dynamiclethargyfilms.ca/felix-and-the-exploration-of-mars/
This week I came across a couple articles about a proposal
by Foster + Partners that was
developed for NASA's
3-D Printed Habitat Challenge.
In my proposal I didn't give much thought to the actual Mars
base, while their proposal is only interested in construction of a base for
visiting astronauts. Their approach is similar, in that they send robots ahead
to construct the habitat in advance of the astronauts.
This does get me to rethink the background I've developed
for the story. Although, I'm not sure that it would change the story much.
