We should totally get all in the water and just deny it. If the pics leak(which we should totally leak them) we should just deny it.

What is anyone else going to do?

We can just fake it like the moon landing stuff, right?

Not according to that treaty.

I'd like to see the space police try and stop the good ole US of A from claiming anything up there.

It doesn't do any good to claim anything if we don't colonize it. Possession is 9/10 of the law.

It would be great if we just colonized Mars and take up all the space, and then when other countries finally show up we'll just be like

Lots of times arbitration is to take place in the state that the incident took place. If anyone gets to mars to dispute it, I would be willing to listen.

Well, that certainly came out of nowhere. Last night on Twitter, SpaceX decided to post a tweet. What was it about? Oh, just the small matter of an unmanned mission to Mars in 2018 – which would make it the first private company to go to the Red Planet.

Holy crap!

Obviously I love universe'y stuff but the psychological hurdles we will have to cross are unreal. The recent movie The Martian hits a lot of these same things. The isolation and only having what you brought is crazy to think about.

Yeah we can probably get there relatively soon, but how will people cope. I enjoy being alone a lot but pure isolation would be something very hard to do. Documentary when it comes out will be super interesting.

I like the earth, I'm staying.

i would probably do better in pure isolation than being isolated with 5 other people
