For most PC-based operating systems, you can find the files on the internet archive. It may take you as long to search for them as to download them, because the files were so small in many cases. I've run NeXTSTEP in some emulator, can't remember which, it wasn't difficult and it worked reliably. I don't see the appeal of doing more than poking at it briefly if you're not running it on real hardware, but there it is. I think I ran it in QEMU/KVM with one of the older hardware models.

The appeal of Mars is that it could theoretically be made Earthlike, with a bit of handwaving perhaps, but not wholly outside the realm of plausibility.

As the appeal is in sending humans someday, there's going to be little support for building a toxic atmosphere, especially one which is particularly unpleasant to die in.

These do not seem to be mutually coherent goals... (subsidizing the power industry, providing NASA with adequate resources, and potentially restarting the nuclear arms race)

Of course it makes sense. Giving it to the power industry means we need to make more, and he can award the contract on a bribery basis.

"Grundfos is a global leader in advanced pump and water solutions, renowned for its highly efficient, reliable, and sustainable pumping systems."

Yeah, what that means is that they are going to be the de facto choice for pumps for european DCs, and yet they are asking the EU to build fewer of them, which will mean less business for them. This doesn't mean what you think it means. Unlike in the USA, a lot of major European corporations are still run with sustainability in mind. They would like there to be a tomorrow for them to profit in.
