Just SOME of the horrible laws Elon has passed on Mars - 1/3 gravity compared to earth - Unbreathable atmosphere, mostly CO2 - Planetwide exemption from copyright law and drug patents - universal healthcare He must be stopped!

"SpaceX will make its own laws on Mars" & not recognize international laws. Proof that the kind of excess wealth that leads to power & influence leads also to unrestrainable, blinding hubris & arrogance, & thence to evil. This must be stopped now. bit.ly/34GbT70

I would like to see the international community press that issue, because to do that I think they'll have to recognize the mars colony as a nation (or at least some kind of sovereign subject like the order of malta)

besides I think mars can play at that nuke game without having nukes, first of all they have orbital superiority (and favorable orbital mechanics), second their mere existence is a threat to the system of MAD

Completely serious btw. The alternative is the people at the buttons waking up and realizing that they don't need to preserve Earth to win

if earth govts are smart they will never allow any kind of independent high tech industrial base to develop on mars, and instead make them depend on shipments of high value density tech such as CPUs, which you can plausibly ship by the rocketful

Carbon capture is pretty easy in the Martian atmosphere. And from there carbon dioxide to steel is a thing that's been worked out at lab scale, too expensive to compete with traditional processes on Earth but certainly cheaper than shipping from Earth to mars.
