As soon as the habitation of Mars picks up a little momentum, martians and Mars colonization will be demonized by the media. It will become a political debate that is fueled by the CIA and other entrenched interests. They will paint it as an ethical issue and focus on the immorality of disturbing the native habitat, or something similar to that. Mark my words.

- SECProto 5y agoThe ethical issues with colonizing/developing Mars were already explored pretty deeply in Red/Blue Mars almost 30 years ago, so readers could mark Kim Stanley Robinson's words instead
- 101001001001 5y agoThe substance of the issues will not be of any importance. They will be used as a tool to alter the course of Mars colonization. Just like every other topic of geopolitical importance, it will be distorted by special interests in a hell-storm of irrational dogma. And just as always, people will lap it up and the truth will die a brutal death. The amazing thing is that it hasn’t started yet. People in the government don’t understand what’s going on. But eventually they will catch on.
