These comments were amplified by panelist Lowell Wood, an architect of
Reagan-era "Star Wars" space-based weapons plans. Wood stated
confidently that terraforming Mars will happen in the 21st century. "It
is the manifest destiny of the human race!" he declared and went on to
boast, "In this country we are the builders of new worlds. In this
country we took a raw wilderness and turned it into the shining city on
the hill of our world." To hell with terraforming: It seemed that we
were discussing the Ameriforming of Mars.

I'd be fascinated at any discussion...
