John,

That would be the best candidate I think... Years back the IPS journal did an article on N. ritchiana and explained how it lives in the most in-hospitable conditions of any palm.

Is Mars the red one or the one with the rings? I always get them confused.

It's funny because when you say Uranus it can be mistaken for "your anus". That's why I think it's funny. And yes, I do know where my Uranus is.

Riding on top of a delta rocket, leaving Earth and travelling 20 thousand kms an hour it took me 11 months to reach Mars atmosphere, this is when the fun really started to happen. I shed my solar panels send a message back to Earth, time to rock and roll! I became incandesent, plasma surrounded me. In the really thin atmosphere I started to slow down and when I reached mach2 my parachute opened. I looked around for a good place to land. I was on target and let go of the parachute and just before hitting the surface of Mars I fired my rockets to make a soft landing. Safely on Mars, I looked at my feet took some photos, send them off to one of 3 satellites obiting Mars. It relayed my message, then I waited for instructions from Earth. I landed in a deep hole on Mars where the atmosphere is just thick enough so that water will not boil. You see most places on Mars water will boil at 0C due to the thin atmosphere and if I was going to do some chemistry, I needed liquid water. So I guess the best place to plant a palm would be within the arctic circle with a portable hothouse of course. I can supply the hothouse!
