Since the bunch of us are sci-fi geeks (playing Freespace and all), I wonder what everyone here thinks about the prospect of colonizing Mars, the moon, and other places in the solar system in the near-term.

Hmmm...
Raving lunatics in space... discuss.
I for one think it would be rather more difficult to fight someone in a 0G environment. You could punch and hit, but each blow could send you flying into a spin yourself...
