If we ever do start projects to terraform Mars, they are going to need a whole bunch of really fit and really smart engineers

Sorry, not interested in that one.

We need you here, working at the nuclear powerplants while idley trying to solve fusion on the backs of envelopes.

My point, though, is that we have people who're smart and young enough to actually go to Mars, because by the time they're done school, Mars development might be on the visible horizon.

I use old receipts!

But seriously, if we're trying to live on Mars, we'll need a lot of solar power. Here's something I found interesting while working on a paper last year regarding a different solar technology, I'm not sure if I've posted it before.
