   What part of forage for wild vegetables, fish, and hunt game did you   
   not understand?   
      
   While such activities may be far beyond your ability, most people   
   before the 20th century were very adept at it.

   Sure they were old technology, space cadet.   
      
   The last improvements were made when they started to be made of iron.   
      
   You are grasping at straws.

   So how many codos are you going to build before the construction workers   
   pause and the colonist move in?   
      
   How does that in any way effect what you have to have other than bigger   
   and more everything?

   Not on Mars unless you are going to have Chinese workers in pressure

   Yeah, sure, space cadet.   
      
   Why would a power system have wheels and be able to drive itself, space   
   cadet?   
      
   What if the ground is uneven and the slightest bit rocky, space cadet?   
      
   Oh, I know, the autonomous bull dozer rolls out first and levels everything.
