Oh, honey, I wish.
Imagine The Truman Show. Global phenomenon, all of earth tuning in 24/7, people forming weird parasocial relationships with the characters. The whole thing. BUT it takes place on Mars. And instead of Truman being a sympathetic victim, he's all of the worst people you know. Anyone with too much dog money and not enough sense. They're all in an extremely complex environment akin to building a base in Antarctica where any mistake can kill them all. Simultaneously, they have to figure out how to make a libertarian utopia while hundreds or even thousands of people are permanently separated from everything they knew. Total psychic fuckin' chaos. The mayor is a White South African with a capital W who currently runs Willy Wonka factories for cars that fall apart. His employees are grouped as those who hear slurs 100x per day and those who finally get to say slurs but can't form a union. He can't be voted out because the town thinks he's a benevolent god and so does he.
It’s all fun and games until the Martian bears arrive.
plus the gravity isnt right, so your bones get weaker everyday. And it cost $1million/kilo for supplies and they take 2 years to arrive, with 10% chance they just crash into the side of the planet when they do.
:joker-troll:
can't keep terra in terra form, so let's try terraforming something two years of hard vacuum away
My old boss said he wanted his son to grow up to be the first governor of Mars :cringe:
you can have it all, my empire of dirt
Lol, the first person in charge of Mars will be Elon's head in a mech suit or a stressed-out corporate puppet. There won't be democracy there.
