A book review on the latest Weinersmith creation. It’s true, there is so much we don’t know.

Just throwing this out there on this forum because missing technology is the problem that kills the dream of Mars, according to the authors.

Doesn’t the outer space treaty place similar restrictions on mars?

AFAIK it only prevents weaponization of space.

It also prohibits countries from claiming sovereignty, and it actually used the Antarctic treaty for inspiration.

Which is not to say that it’s exactly the same situation as Antarctica, but the treaties are more similar than you might assume.

Yeah it's just that the sheer scale of planetary colonization kind of makes this a problem for the year 4,000 or so.
