1. I don't trust the brochures I have to see it personally first

2. Near the beach!

No, near the ski resorts!

No, wait, near the casino, land near the casino. It's all in the brochures, do it!

3. LOL. Thanks for the link.

I voted for the either of the Poles.

4. Those got my highest ranking too

I mean you need ice for the drinks at least :)

Seriously though it seems to me those would be the most interesting places a clear 'boundary' location.

5. I voted for the poles, too. I would go with the North one, which I think is more water ice

The south is more CO2. Or it could be the other way around?

6. Southern cap

is what I thought, a quick check on wiki states that the CO2 in the south is there on a more permanent basis where it fluctuates in the north with the seasons.

7. Poles

There (presumably) be water in them thar hills, and besides, I don't think anything's landed at them yet? (Correct me if I'm wrong.)

8. In a little over a week, if we're lucky.

Let's hope.
