You'll have to do better than that. Ideally we'd set up some sort of drilling rigs at some point, and bore holes at various points in the Martian or Venusian surface. The core samples would then be sent back to Earth for analysis, or perhaps analyzed right there if there's sufficient equipment. We might even find some ice down there. One can also envision seismographic monitoring (there's already stuff looking for moonquakes, courtesy of the non-existent moon missions). -- #191, ewill3@earthlink.net Windows Vista.
