[FPSPACE] Caves on Mars?

[E.P. Grondine]

Dave -

As you know, "sales" of Mars have fallen through consistently when the 
crunch came. "No one cares" about Mars, to quote one former NASA 
Administrator.

On the other hand, the Moon has an immediate practical use as a base for 
planetary defense, regardless of whether you can understand it or not.

So lets take care of the problem at hand, and then on to Mars.
