Nuclear Power Station on Mars
You know, when I pick out articles and web pages to be featured here on Seeing Red, I look for items that would be of interest to the typical Red Elvises aficionado (if there is such a thing), and adhere to a few basic guidelines.

But today I've come across a triple threat. A hat trick. A perfect storm. Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you the proposed Russian nuclear power plant on Mars.
