I wish scientists could trick politicians this easily. I’d like to add that we’ve got about zero business putting boots on Mars at this moment.
But what if CHINA beats us to it? Do you want the planet to turn RED from communism!
Communism? great!
Chinese branded communism?
Yeah, I’m an American, give me my communism extra red, but with a generous helping of white and blue.
Please feel free to replace American with French, British, Dutch, or whatever other country that uses the cliche three colors for its flag.
But seriously, I do think that you could probably sell a lot of people in America on it if you got real patriotic with your communism, no this would not go over well with communists.
mars needs more ghosts
Sounds neat.
We really need to stop enabling dark triad assholes to run everything
damn them and their compelling sexy fascist ways!
