Fundraising: Translating PhD thesis about colonization of planet Mars.

[cosurgi]

Hi,

In 2008 my wife defended a PhD thesis "Architectural problems of a Martian base design as a habitat in extreme conditions", it was however written in polish language. Since then I've been planning to translate it into english. Unfortunately we never had enough time, due to other scientific research we were doing.

In 2011 I've discovered bitcoin and later litecoin. This allowed me to collect some extra money so in 2013 I was able to pay a professional translator to do the work. Since I want really hard to give this PhD thesis to the whole world I decided to pay out of my pocket - about 4000 USD. The translation process is now going strong, and I hope that we will have this translation finished by the end of 2014. I just uploaded to my website a 50% translation draft, so you can see where this is going.
It's all on my website: http://janek.kozicki.pl/

English version (50% translated so far):

If you like the idea, I would be really grateful if you donated:

BTC: 1KNLQbfLoc6xyHExDV19d2qdaCq8ST5ip4
LTC: Legfq6X7DPF9Wy5mF1Gp8JyefeZqcYhYzB

target goal is about 4000 USD.

best regards
Janek Kozicki

I hope you're going to have this proofed and adjusted after being translated into English. For a start, the first sentence of the abstract doesn't make sense....

"A manned mission to Mars is a particular case of a space-flight due to their longterm duration."

Yes, of course. This is a currently a draft

I'm fixing this now. If you find other errors, please let me know!
(most of the pictures are not translated yet).

EDIT: this one is fixed now. But of course this will be proofread and reformatted (original was written in TeX, but translator is using libreoffice, so there are some formatting issues currently). We plan to finish this translation by the end of 2014.

Jest ich trochę, m.in. te poniżej z pierwszego akapitu z abstraktu:

Np.:

Considering this, the author has decided to perform several comprehensive analysis analyses relating to Martian architectural designing.

Przecinek oraz liczba mnoga słowa "analiza", bo wcześniej było "kilka".

Albo tutaj przetłumaczyłbym końcówkę:

The concept project accomplished by the author depicts that relatively low expenditure is enough to establish a safe construction, which is at the same time aesthetic and human-friendly, with the possibility of changing arrangements and expanding it due according to the actual needs.

W polskim tekście jest "w zależności", a nie "z powodu".
