I see very little chance that Earth can maintain a military influence over Mars, especially when the cost/time to travel is magnitudes higher. It's likely that Mars will have its own form of government from the people over there.
- ASalazarMX 6y agoI imagine USA would try to appoint a banana president on Mars. Everything goes fine for decades, until the colony is prosperous and self-sufficient, at which point it thanks Earth and declares independence. Earth would of course refuse, but in the following days every banana officer would perish in freak but plausible space accidents. Interplanetary War I starts. Ancient Mars aliens wake up and destroy humanity. I've probably read too much sci fi.
