I consider myself privileged to have been invited to work there in 1996 as part of a team. We were building a laboratory block and living accommodation for the British Antarctic Survey scientists that are stationed there. It was absolutely breathtakingly amazing. It took 13 days to get to work from the UK by plane and ship! To see killer whales, Adele penguins and seals in their natural habitat was so special.We spent Christmas and new year there and although i was only there for 10 weeks the experience will stay with me forever. Keep up the good work :)

My colleague was suffering from routine and repeating patterns in her life and looked for a new interest to pick up. She is now an avid B1M viewer and has made plans to travel to Norway, NYC and London after watching your videos (at work at times!) You guys may have changed a bored mother's life for the better, she is now more driven and motivated...I can't tell what other influences there were obviously but ... I like to think you played a major role there !

@@brainwashingdetergent4128 No it takes about 2 years for the planets to be aligned right. So every 2 years you have a launch window where you can go from Earth to Mars, and that journey takes about 6 months. The only viable way of building anything their is using local materials, the Mars colony has to be near autarcic because imports from earth are so expensive and unpractical.
