: # Email from Robert Zubrin to Tim McMahon dated 9-18-2003 requesting book review.
I don't understand it, and i'm sure it doesn't belong in an article. An explanation is in order, tho secondary to the need for its removal.--Jerzy•t 20:40, 6 October 2005 (UTC)

message: Why was the LaRouche connection removed on March 22nd?
:For those who are interested, the referred to edit is here, and evidently it was removed by an IP user without any reason given. However, an assertion like this should always be supported with a citation, so the IP was right and entirely within Wikpedia policy to remove it; in fact, policy demands this even more decidedly so in an article like this than others per WP:BLP. --Florian Blaschke (talk) 19:45, 29 January 2017 (UTC)

message: In the case there is intelligent life in Mars, and superior to ours, I hope they will think Zubrin's biocentric enough.
Well, there is no intelligent life on Mars, so the question becomes whether Martian bacterium should stand in the way of terraforming the planet.  --198.232.63.57 (talk) 21:49, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

message: I notice somebody just added a claim that Frank Black wrote a song about Zubrin, and cited the lyrics as a source; I scoffed. Wrongly, as it turns out. I couldn't find a good citation that he wrote the song about Zubrin, and the lyrics clearly require some interpretation. But Frank Black listed it as one of his top 5 books. Together with the title anagram, I believe the claim, but I'd love for us to have a better source. William Pietri 19:29, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

message: Zubrin appears to fit the criteria for climate change denial. He appears to believe that global warming is not  anthropomorphic and that global warming is beneficial - it makes crops grow faster. Shouldn't Zubrin's views be added?
* Twitter / Zubrin: No. I’m not a climate change denier. I’m a climate change supporter.
* Zubrin: The Assault on Science
* Zubrin: The New Holocaust Deniers

message: I have commenced a tidy-up of the Bibliography section:
* Cite templates will be used where possible.
* While I would prefer capitalization and punctuation to follow the standard cataloguing rules in AACR2 and RDA, the Wikipedia Manual of Style at WP:MOS requires "title case".
* ISBNs and other persistent identifiers, where available, are commented out, but still available for reference.
* Links to potentially unreliable digitised copies may be removed. 
This is a work in progress; feel free to continue. Sunwin1960 (talk) 09:28, 1 August 2022 (UTC)

message: Added citation needed to this claim:
"The work of the Mars Society was successful enough as to encourage the US Government to not cut funding for several Mars rover missions."
There is no evidence provided for this strangely-worded claim. 69.165.230.185 (talk) 04:03, 13 December 2023 (UTC)
