Santa on Mars
He looked out from the habitat and saw the pink colored sand dusting the outcroppings outside the pressure dome’s panoramic window. It reminded him of the snow blowing in the canyons around his home in Utah. But here on Mars it was so much more desolate. The climate-controlled habitat sat in a lava tube, deep enough to shield them from radiation and small meteorites but too otherworldly to feel like home. It made him shiver at the realization that he was one of 42 people living 225 million km/ 139,808,518 miles on average from Earth. This fact was brought up by his youngest son, Max, this morning at breakfast. The commitment of bringing his whole family to another planet, really hit home. It was Dec 1st Earth time, and little Max asked him if Santa would be able to find them on Mars, not the kind of question a father usually has to answer.
