I mean the first “colony” is going to be a bunch of scientists, engineers, and the like. There won’t be money to exchange goods just like astronauts in the iss don’t pay for their dinner everyday. So, they’re kinda right that mars, at first, won’t be capitalist but will instead resemble something closer to either a communist or traditional ‘economy’. I put that in quotes because is it really an economy if there’s less than 100 people and those <100 people are not there to start a society but to study the planet?

That's a good retort roflmao

I guess @ baradmatthew has never experienced communism huh?

Also, I mean, the RED planet. Who am I to question destiny?
