One of the world's most ambitious building projects, Crystal Island will cost $4 billion and it is scheduled to be built within next 5 years in Moscow. It will be enclosed within a vast mega structure covering a total floor area of 2.5million square metres -- floor area alone will be four times the size of Pentagon in Washington DC.
"A stunning survey of the latest evidence for intelligent life on Mars. Mac Tonnies brings a thoughtful, balanced and highly accessible approach to one of the most fascinating enigmas of our time."
--Herbie Brennan, author of Martian Genesis and The Atlantis Enigma
"Tonnies drops all predetermined opinions about Mars, and asks us to do the same."
--Greg Bishop, author of Project Beta
"I highly recommend the book for anyone interested in the search for extra-terrestrial artifacts, and the political intrigues that invariably accompany it."
--David Jinks, author of The Monkey and the Tetrahredron
"Mac Tonnies goes where NASA fears to tread and he goes first class."
--Peter Gersten, former Director of Citizens Against UFO Secrecy

Pipe dream? If the pipe most concerned continues to flow oil at the rate of almost $100 a barrel, I could see it happening. But the question is ...why?
It would cost more than $4 billion and take longer than 5 years is my first guess. And who would be able to afford to live there? Oilagarchs and similarly wealthy, connected Russians? How very Ballardian, a kind of rich person's "Billenium," or hermetically-controlled "Concrete Island," not crystal. This is a classist sort of development.
Question: how many Chechnyans piloting how many Aeroflot passenger jets would it take to bring it down as a retaliatory political action? Just wondering...
