CV: Martha Adams, age 79, retired from MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) in 1996. She lived quietly for a few years and then met a group of people starting a large effort to place a settlement on Mars. They moved away but Martha remained near MIT (and its large library). She devotes much of her "retirement" time to developing materials for her Web site, Adra.
Adra reflects Martha's belief today's work on space must be putting Settlements out there now. Future history requires this, vs, risk future history simply ends. Further space exploration is best put-off til it can be taken up again from Settlements better placed for it than the bottom of Terra's deep gravity well.
Martha is a member of the Moon Society, the National Space Society and the Planetary Society; and a Life Member of the Mars Society.
