[Diaspora] Exploratory fuels

[Brad Murray]

At Universe Today there's a little article about fueling human habitation on
Mars. Now, because so much of Diaspora is about the human habitation of
alien worlds, this is potentially great material to back up a system
description or give you ideas for similar but different systems.

It turns out there's a cool little cyanobacterium, a blue-green algae, that
produces alcohol when converting sunlight to internal energy. And it should
manage quite well on Mars. Yes, biofuels may be the most efficient way to
fuel a Mars habitat. Mars, you know, where there's practically zero air and
water. BIOfuel.

That's cool.
