SpaceX Says There Are No Laws on Mars, So Maybe Elon Musk Will Be President

Hey, who needs rules on the Red Planet?

www.google.com

Apparently Musk is claiming he will follow international space laws for the Moon and near solar bodies but Mars if free game.

It would be crazy to see what form of Government takes place out in Space.

 

[OmegaSupreme]

If he gets us there in my life time he can have it.

 

[SLoWMoTIoN]

Mars belongs to the Nords!

Because electing a conman with no government experience has gone so well here on earth

How is Elon a conman?

 

[Birdo]

I guess whoever lands there is free to take it. It's fair.

I think that it would have to be pretty militarized for a while because of how rare resources would be. This is another reason why I love The Expanse. Its like they saw into the future.

I couldn't image how hard it would be for the US or Earth to regulate a planet. It would be impossible.

Pyotr Korshunov is going to claim Mars... him or Fred Johnson

Because electing a conman with no government experience has gone so well here on earth

Every time the man proceeds to turn the world on its head by doing things that were previously called impossible he gets called a conman for it. How is he a conman?

Was it when he destroyed the economic viability of the Russian Space Agency?
Was it when he started landing rocket boosters on their tails like goddamned Buck Rodgers?
Was it when he produced an electric car that people actually wanted to buy?
Will it be when he starts bringing batteries to market that actually make renewable electricity economically feasable?
Will it be when the overwhelming majority of the populated planet has access to high speed internet?
Will it be when he launches a $25,000 electric car that people actually want to buy?
Will it be when he launches the 2nd most powerful rocket in history, again?

Now onto the speculative ideas.

Will it be when he puts up commercial orbital infrastructure?
Will it be when he industrializes the moon?
Will it be when he puts the first boots on Mars?
Will it be when he ships back the first trillion dollars worth of rare metals from the asteroid belt?

Musk keeps on telling people what he's going to do, and people keep being shocked when he just does them.

Elon will set foot first on mars and claim the planet for his kingdom of Elonpia

While I agree that Obama was a bad move, how in the world are you extrapolating this out to the driving force behind so many modern advances and excellent products?

Guys, the thing is Elon is going to Mars and he probably gonna be president/governor/ruler/emperor/swayer/chairman/Prime Minister/Count/Duke/prince (or whatever title he might assume on that planet)
but with the Corona Virus shebang and its financial repercussions being "a runaway train" on our planet, we might have to ditch earth sooner than we actually thought.
So how do we join Elon's endeavour to go to Mars?

 

[ipukespiders]

I guess whoever lands there is free to take it. It's fair.

And whichever group lands second can fight the first group for it. As it should be.

Honestly if he rules over mars, I hope they'll keep a detailed account of everything like it's one big experiment and post it to the internet in real time. I'd want to know all the stats about every aspect of life.

Imagine if we get to the point were we can see live streams from Mars? I know there will always be a delay because of the speed of light but once a streams starts we could potentially watch everything in realish time.

I just hope I am around to see these great achievements. Considering the modern computer is only 40 years old, I could see this happening sooner than expected.

I have to wonder where humanity would be, in terms of renewable energy, clean transportation, poverty, climate change and the many other issues we still need to tackle for future generations, if other billionaires actually gave enough of a shit to try.

Musk goes out and accomplishes shit

while his detractors greatest claim to fame is begging for a politician to pay off their student loans.
