A MOON BASE AT CLAVIUS Hear my chat w/ Rod Pyle rodpyle & Tariq J. Malik, & my thoughts on why we should set up a lunar base off-pole. As it turns out, 2001: A Space Odyssey's Clavius crater would be a really great spot. The SETI Institute Mars Institute NASA KeplerSpaceUniversity @NSS

Our 'Nighthawk' Mars Chopper mission concept is named after the amazing, stunt-flying, ground-nesting, nocturnal bird which hunts from dusk to dawn. 'Nighthawk' on Mars would fly only during the day, but aims to explore the canyons of 'Noctis Labyrinthus' - the Maze of the Night.
