I wonder if Musk is ramping up his efforts to take 1M people to colonize Mars...
These smartie-pants are selling deeds to an acre (not even a metric hectare?) of land on Mars at a groupon discount of $12 (limited time only?). https://www.groupon.com/deals/buy-planet-mars-1?p=3&utm_source=channel_occasions_im&utm_medium=email&t_division=albuquerque&date=20200402&uu=e600d020-0c4a-11e4-b375-002590c1299a&CID=US&tx=0&s=body&c=image&d=deal-page&utm_campaign=99babc1a-3219-4601-bb39-8cc52caf6634_0_20200401 My guess is that when Musk lands, he will claim sovereign rights and immediately levy a tax on those who claim to hold title en-absentia equal to the cost of transport *to* Mars. Then we'll see who really wants to "own" an acre of martian dust. ============================================================ FRIAM Applied Complexity Group listserv Meets Fridays 9a-11:30 at cafe at St. John's College to unsubscribe http://redfish.com/mailman/listinfo/friam_redfish.com archives back to 2003: http://friam.471366.n2.nabble.com/ FRIAM-COMIC http://friam-comic.blogspot.com/ by Dr. Strangelove
