WILL SANTA NEED TO VISIT OTHER PLANETS?

摘要

As we creep closer to holiday season and the traditional good cheer ramps up - what better time to consider the fact that we have very nearly ruined our planet. ... and a happy new year! OTT perhaps, but it does seem that if humanity is to continue we will, at some point, have to colonise other planets in the solar system. And Santa - if you are reading - here is a wakeup call. If there are children on Mars, or any other planet for that matter, they will expect to see that a certain visitor has been on Christmas morning -assuming they have been good boys and girls of course. As such, we present you with the Science Lite guide to an extra-terrestrial Xmas as Mr Claus extends his yuletide rounds to include the rest of the solar system.
