I've long considered Las Cruces to be (culturally) the NM equivalent of
Tucson. College town in the desert, with decent sort-of Mexican food.

That's on the NM spaceport, right? I see they finished the paved road up
from the south finally. Still a long way from anywhere, yeah. Brings it a
bit closer to Las Cruces, which is an OK little town. Looks like about 45
minutes, with a good radar detector and no fear of death.
A swamp next to the Equator? Not Kourou? Speaking of air you chew rather
than breathe... One summer in DC was enough for my lifetime - I can't even
imagine being stuck in Guiana. Hot and wet, cold and wet, doesn't matter -
I hate wet.

We acquired the SpaceX Hopper facility in NM. It rivals contemporary
descriptions of Mars but it's beautiful high desert. Logistics are a
nightmare but manageable. I don't miss the snow one bit but my day job
requires me to travel up north on occasion. Meanwhile I spend most of my
time in a swamp next to the equator.

As a general rule, Canadians don't fare well in temperatures above 21C but
manage well in Martian summer like conditions. Something to consider when
planning initial settlements there.:-)
I'm a lizard and jumped ship. I love the heat.

A fellow convert! I grew up in Michigan then Boston with real winters.
Had no concept of the alternative till I found myself in Tucson in '86
working for L5 Society. Walking around in a t-shirt in January! And
discovering I was part-reptile and could handle the dry-heat summers just
fine. A very small price to pay for *never* having slush spilling into my
shoes again. I was home.
