Science & Technology Elon Musk’s “City-State” on Mars: An Internation

I'm going to rant against this article here, sorry

The article has a dot eu host tag in the url, Alarmist article is you ask me
https://moderndiplomacy.eu/2021/05/15/e … l-problem/

'Apparently, Musk and SpaceX employees have been spending time at a nearby shooting range. '

' Violence seems within the realm of possibilities.'

' Further, neighbors have grown accustom to sirens warning them when Musk and company are about to do something that could (and sometimes does) cause imminent physical harm, and then evacuating or taking cover. Not to mention the “fireball” incident.'

' Is Musk capable of violent measures?.'


This is not an article of mine, she writes in an odd way about Space Colonization, I do not always agree with what is said this person's article. She might be ahead of me on legal leftwing terms and political attorney lawyer buzz words, I think perhaps she's got some agenda here, maybe she's a homegrown American crazy, the name is unique maybe she's Swedish Polish studying public social interests or something in California or some legal thing in Commiefornia. She does bring some interesting points on the ownership of space, the Moon treaty, the Outer Space Treaty (OST) etc

Her political suggestion and tone is weird for the new frontier.
Where were the 'Lawyers' when Sputnik was launched or the Wright brothers did their flight, where were the Lawyers when the Tyrants of the 1930s and 40s took power, did fight hand to hand on the battle field, fight in the seas and in the skies, did the Lawyers they use their rockets and guns, did they defeat armies by taking their legal documents and making deadly bureaucratic paper airplanes out of them???

He also declared the new “country” will not “recognize the laws of Earth.”

GOOD! ...I say!!
Is he supposed to bow to and recognize Communism? How about is he supposed to recognize the Fascist Laws of the 1930s and 40s, or should he recognize the Laws of the Khmer Rouge? Does this woman want Musk to recognize the Sharia Laws and Arab Blaspheme Laws of the moslem islamic world, does she want Iran or saudi Arabia at the UN to dhave say over Msuk? Does she want South Africa to come back and govern Musk in his Mars colony of the future, a backward Earth country with economic problems, increasing Crime Rate, growing cases of theft, fraud, rape, assault in S.Africa, attacks on farmers & other South Africa Crime Statistics?

QUOTE
'Musk plans to start sending humans to Mars by 2026 and then shuttling thousands of people between Earth and Mars before 2030.'

I think she's wrong here, personally I think Musk is fooling around like a comedian, just talking hype on social media, he trolls and bluffs and jokes sometimes. I do believe he can get to Mars but I do not believe he will 'send thousands'
but if he does send so many...I say Great!!

People like this believe
...Mars needs more legal teams, robo attorneys, lawyers, regulations and bureaucracy? Legal teams sent to Mars for more  "authority" and "control".
Personally I would rather have 'Anarchy' than have a woman like this govern Mars and while I have been around some anti-war people and Occupy Wall St type people I still think Anarchism is a terrible idea btw
did Bezos pay her to write this nonsense?
the more Musk wins, the more he looks to go to Mars and the stars the more "hit pieces" like this will soon appear against Musk and Space-X.

Musk is not joking but you're right to suspect these negative comments are part of a bigger trend.

There is absolutely no way that Far Left Democrats are going to tolerate a capitalistic entrepreneur of the wrong skin tone setting up his (emphasis on his - a woman might be different) own settlement on Mars.

I am very suspicious of Kamala Harris's sudden interest in national space policy.

I am not sure yet how they will move to stop Space X but I think they will try. Perhaps they will let through some sort of UN Security Council motion providing for an Antarctic Treaty style approach for Mars. That will allow them to slow everything down while they negotiate a treaty for years and allow China to catch up.

Going to a gun range with your fellow employees in Texas is like going to a bowling alley or baseball game.  Whether or not the finger waggers on the east or west coast recognize that shooting sports are a national past time or not, they are.  One of my past employers, we went to a gun range, we went to ball games, we went to bars, we went to karaoke, we played putt-putt golf.

In a place where everyone has a gun, if not several, it's just something else to do.  No more thought was ever given to it than that, because we don't personify inanimate objects, we don't view ownership of finely machined pieces of steel / wood / plastic as good or bad, and we're there to have a good time, not to make a statement about politics.

It's not like there's an opera house in Boca Chica, or should I call it Starbase - that's another thing the Far Left Dems won't like...changing a Spanish place name to an English one!  Poor ol' Musk probably doesn't even realise that's an issue.
