Terradyne was published in 1991. Red Mars came out a year later. The Mars Trilogy centers on the struggle between pro- and anti-terraforming factions. It's since become a very common reoccurring trope in near future sci-fi. (For another RPG example, Orbital 2100 from Zozer Games has your typical Reds eco-fighters.) Did KSR not come up with the idea? What's it doing in a GURPS setting?
