The night after the John Glenn program, I pitched the terraforming idea to my students. I asked them if they'd like to terraform Mars as a big class project; I wanted to throw the idea to them and see how they would react. Already I had a vision of splitting the class into several groups and having each group take charge of a portion of the project. ... Following my initial idea on how to conduct the project, I split the class into six groups, each student choosing his or her group. ...

. The range of offshore 8m-class telescopes to which Australian astronomers have access is about to undergo significant changes. I will outline the extensive suite of facilities on the Gemini, Magellan, and Keck telescopes to which all Australian astronomers will be able to apply for from now through to the end of 2017. The International Telescopes Support Office at the AAO is positioning itself to support users of these facilities in a range of ways that I shall discuss.
