so...are these astronaults going to be claimimg mars as american, european, asian, russian or in the name of planet earth?
How can they claim it for planet earth when we all live under different flags here?
I suspect mining will be important up there, so we could ship out all the unemployed miners for a start.
Th ecalender thing is interesting...but I see no reason why hallmark cards cant print up a job lot of martian calenders and ship them out.
If starbucks get there somebody is going to have to sort out the martian corporation tax laws before they get there.
...deep down I have a sneaky suspicion this has all been done once before in reverse though...adam and eve were probably martians.
