When we colonize the moon or Mars... (1 Viewer)

[TheIronSheik]

If history teaches us anything, it's that these colonies will eventually break free from us and become their own countries, right?  And if so, do we go to war with these colonies to try to take them back?  

Just trying to figure out how soon we'll be seeing TIE Fighters being developed.

This is exactly why we need the US Space Force

More importantly, how do we stop the illegal aliens from Jupiter from sneaking into those colonies?

 

[Leroy Hoard]

But what if they side with the Moonies and Martians?

 

[dkp993]

Way things are at the moment not so sure I would blame them....

 

[TheIronSheik]

This is exactly why we need the US Space Force

We really need to up the speed of our space ships.  It'll be weird when Mars declares its independence and we retaliate by sending a ship that will take 9 months to get there.  People may not even remember why we sent the ships by then.

 

[TheIronSheik]

Would the United Nations include countries on other planets?  Or does each planet get a UN.  Then we have a Galactic Federation for planets?

 

[wikkidpissah]

This is exactly why we need the US Space Force

If the President gets a 2nd term, Space Force will have colony on Mars living under a giant dome of swirling blonde space hair by 2022.

 

[Jaysus]

The Moon needs a new name. 

 

[STEADYMOBBIN 22]

Live there? Again? It didn’t go so well the last time......

 

[higgins]

Isn't that how things started in Stranger in a Strange Land? 

 Are you talking about that song by Iron Maiden? 

 

[Don Quixote]

Dumping tea in the Sea of Tranquility probably won't have the same effect as dumping it in the Boston harbor.

 

[TheIronSheik]

The Moon needs a new name. 

How about AT&T's The Moon?

 

[Bull Dozier]

 Are you talking about that song by Iron Maiden? 

No, but the song by Iron Maiden was.

 

[ericttspikes]

Probably something like the plot line of The Expanse.

 

[Bobcat10]

Probably something like the plot line of The Expanse.

Yup.  Earther, Belter, or Duster?

Ceres was once covered in ice. Enough water for 1,000s of generations. Until Earth and Mars stripped it away for themselves. This station became the most vital port in the Belt. But, the immense wealth and resources that flow through our gates were never meant for us. Belters work the docks, loading and unloading precious cargo. We fix the pipes and filters that keep this rock living and breathing. We Belters toil and suffer, without hope and without end. And for what? One day, Mars will use its might to wrest control of Ceres from Earth, and Earth will go to war to take it back. It's all the same to us. No matter who controls Ceres, our home, to them, we will always be slaves. That's all we are to the Earthers and Dusters. They built their solar system on our backs, spilled the blood of a million of our brothers. But in their eyes, we're not even human anymore. So, the next time you look in the mirror, say the word. Slave.

Nope just a Roman Goddess.

 

[JaxBill]

Would REM have to change their song about Andy Kaufman?

 

[NotSmart]

If history teaches us anything, it's that these colonies will eventually break free from us and become their own countries, right?  And if so, do we go to war with these colonies to try to take them back? 

We seriously couldn't allow that to happen.

So we'd just nuke them.

 

[JaxBill]

Would Moon colonists protest by dumping Tang into the Sea of Tranquility?

 

[TheIronSheik]

I'm just going to say it now:  I'm #TeamEarth.  

 

[NotSmart]

I'm just going to say it now:  I'm #TeamEarth.  

Yeah, I can't stand those people already.

 

[Hot Diggity Dog]

can't wait for the "bombard the planet from orbit" order.

 

[nirad3]

Build the Space Wall.

 

[bushdocda]

We'd better attack them before they attack us is all I'm saying.

 

[Penguin]

How's the cell service up there?

 

[Max Power]

How's the cell service up there?

4 second delay.  Pretty sure NASA can Skype there.

 

[rockaction]

I keep reading colonize as something we'll do to Uranus instead.  

I know that's an awful, tired, sophomoric joke, but colons are running my day here, people.  I can't even get away from them in The Beatles thread. 

 

[Leroy Hoard]

Great minds in history think alike.

[Politician Spock]

Would you tell me please, Mr. Howard, why should I trade one tyrant thirty million miles away for thirty million tyrants one mile away?

 

[CletiusMaximus]

Isn't that how things started in Stranger in a Strange Land? 

Wrong Heinlein novel. This is The Moon is a Harsh Mistress. 

 

[IC FBGCav]

The Moon needs a new name. 

I'm sure it will have a corporate sponsor soon enough, Amazon's Moon, just spit balling here.

 

[The General]

I'm not going. Probably sucks up there.

 

[NotSmart]

I'm not going. Probably sucks up there.

Well yeah, it's a vacuum. 

 

[TheIronSheik]

How's the cell service up there?

Not great.  But once it becomes AT&T's The Moon, the cell service will still be terrible.

Maybe you can get a break halfway through a post ; kind of like a semicolon.

I wanted to like Mars on Nat Geo, but it just bored me.
