My friend, there is snow on Mars! 
both H2O and CO2 snow! hurray! Just head for the polar regions or wait for the winter season at the right latitude!
I think Mars is the right one too. I hope someday it is a terraformed, second home for the human race and all of the life we have on Earth

I say Mars... because it is still close, and its cold... it's too bad that it doesn't have a bunch of water cause I think snow on mars would be great but otherwise mars is definitely the right planet for me

Mars is where I want to go. It has water in the northern ice cap and the permafrost, peroxides in the regolith able to be used to manufacture oxygen by adding water, a 24 hour and 39 minute day which would supply regular lighting for plants in better supply than on Luna, a 25° axial tilt which allows for seasons and will make the planet even more earthlike once atmospheric terraformation is done, it has two captured asteroids for satellites which can be mined for resources and turned into orbital cities and allow for higher payload shippments from Earth or anywhere since an EDL system would then not need to be included in the interplanetary spacecraft mass, Mars has the resources necessary to support technological civilization and unlike Earth its environment will demand work and innovation of its inhabitants.
wow! even better than I thought! That's pretty exciting... I wish that could happen within my lifetime.

I think space is vast and desolate, it strikes a sense of appeal to people on the spectrum, I guess that's why so many of us like the science fiction genre.
you know its never been an actual interest for me but it is interesting without a doubt. I probably have about the same amount of fascination as someone who is NT that thinks that space is pretty-neat ha ha ha...

Orion and my family lives in the Mintaka part of Orion. I miss them.
I think it's somewhere around Orion, for me, as well... well, around Orion's Belt, anyway. I even have personal reasons behind believing in this.
Mintaka actually is in Orion's Belt... maybe that's the proper place for me, too... hmm.
So long as we're all clear that Orion is not a planet, or even a star like Mintaka (upper rightmost in the belt, the others being Alnitak and Alnilam; if memory serves me they all mean fairly prosaic belt-y things in Arabic) but simply the name of the constellation, and there's usually no relationship between the stars in a constellation other than that they look pretty together from where we are... well, so long as that's said, I also have a strong fondness for Mintaka, because it features prominently in Red Shift (among other things, the lead characters promise to watch the star at the same hour while they're apart.) Have I mentioned that book before? Have I mentioned how astonishingly excited I am that Garner is writing a new book, despite being a zillion-and-two years old?
*cough*
