Does anyone remember whether an effort to terraform Mars was mentioned in the
official Tuffleyverse timeline? I seem to recall that it was, but I can't find
it now.
(Because it's late, and I'm not sleepy, I'm putting down the ideas for a
new--and very different, but not silly this time--power that I've been
playing with since my posting this afternoon. Anything that I don't write down
gets left by the wayside, and this seems like something worth pursuing.)
Thanks,

As far as I can remember (without trawling through all the stuff I've written)
we never mentioned Mars much, or indeed detailed what was happening on any of
the planets of the Sol system bar Earth. I feel Mars would probably be
colonised (perhaps quite heavily, and by several
nations), but not terraformed (or at least not fully) - the discovery of
FTL probably came before any real efforts could be made in this direction,
making it easier to find habitable worlds than make them.
Personally I like the B5 concept of Mars - settled with domed colonies,
but
still pretty inhospitable, but YMMV - this ISN'T and [OFFICIAL] (tm)
pronouncement!!

I like it too. Mars isn't a Goer in the long term: too small to hold an
atmosphere. Venus is actually a much better bet: just seed the clouds with the
right
