James Cameron's Illustrated Mars Reference Design

Posted by michael on Saturday January 31, 2004 @08:48PM from the purty-picturez dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Terminator Director James Cameron commissioned renderings of the NASA Mars Reference Design [HTML, 4 PDFs]. The mission profile calls for a cargo ship sent ahead of a crew, a huge (Terminator-like?) rover, and inflatable habitats. It's not clear where Skynet and the T-800's hyper-alloy combat chassis fit in yet. Between now and then, the 5 Mars missions: 2005 Mars Reconnaisance Orbiter, 2007 Phoenix and Netlanders, 2009 Science Lab Rover, and 2011 Scout. Skynet comes in 2026."

I suddenly find myself thinking of way, way too many one liners from aliens. And they damn well better make the dropship! :D
