Clearly someone is a fan of Frank Herbert's Dune series

Or, you know, we could build moisture collectors and it'd like Tattooine.

The Fremen lived below the surface because the overall humidity was under 1% and the temperature was approaching 150 or 160 degrees during the day.

that and the fact that if you walked the sands to long you would be gobbled up by a several mile long worm

That movie sucked (not Dune, that underground city one). Though the idea itself is interesting.

I say go for it. If it doesn't work, well, it's Nevada. Who cares?

yes it did but that was made before hollywood mastered the art of butchering a good book to make a film, the books are outstanding (so long as you have the time to read them) a word of warning though the film will make less sense after reading the books
