[ We’ve also got a craft near Vesta, and soon to be heading off to get a close look at Ceres — a minor planet (or dwarf or asteroid if you please) which may have more water than Earth has, and which can get as warm as forty below! That’s as warm as winter in Russia :) ]

Asteroid Gulag....

A little saying from the Gulag.

Kolyma, Kolyma
Amazing planet
Twelve months of winter
the rest is summer.

Kolyma was the northern gold field gulag.
In order to dig they had to first build fires
on the ground to thaw it out.
Death rate was very high.
