      “Meanwhile, living conditions in Russia are not so different from living conditions on the Moon . . . Life in Russia differs from life in future colonies on the Moon only in that in Russia almost every year there is summer, a short period of time when you can go outside without a protective suit . . .”

      Climate change has taken away another beautiful vision of communist optimism.

        I mean you could just change it to this:

        Life in the subtropics differs from life in future colonies on Mercury only in that in Florida almost every year there is winter, a short period of time when you can go outside without a protective suit
