They turned it into a South Sea Paradise, right?

I called there regularly in the 60's and 70's and it was just barren rock. Maybe there'd be a wisp of cloud on the topmost volcanoes but the whole island varied between black (the mountains ) and light grey (beach sand). Green was a colour notable only for its absence...

I think they got it mixed up with Mauritius!

I presume you were on HMS Beagle!

"By a bizarre twist, this great imperial experiment may hold the key to the future colonisation of Mars."

John, maybe your sextant was out of order and you really visited Mars which we all know is barren.

Interesting! So this is the "Genesis Project".
Do you think they'll find Mr. Spock there?

Interesting article. Darwin was an intriguing scientist. I recently came across a quotation attributed to him that I hadn't read before (and cannot find any other reference to), that made me pause...

"Monkeys made man. Man made angels."
