So just what the hell is going on with the Mars One colonies now that the show is over? I heard from a guy I talk to in New Texas City that the monorail doesn't even run to it anymore. I know there was a lot of worry about the economy after the show ended, but it can't possibly have gone full Bradbury this fast.

Even if you found a suitable opening, I doubt it would prove all too satisfying. And it might leave some nasty wounds, depending on the moral high ground's geology.

Baffler likes silver, walnut trees, the color green, tanzanite, and dogs for their loyalty. When possible he prefers to consume beef, iced tea, and cornbread. He absolutely detests ticks.

President Barobot Obandroid was manufactured on Earth, and his serial number is a conspiracy, despite extensive documentation, which has been forged. Anyone who says otherwise is a socialist shill.

@Footjob, you can microwave most grains I've tried pretty easily through the microwave, even if they aren't packaged for it.

Any further claims to landgrab Mars from my rightful ownership will result in a full scale nuclear assault, and the execution of a cute puppy.

It seems that everybody is somehow really surprised everything has gone to shits on mars. Why? It's obvious this all happened because we took algebra in the name of the Omnissiah out of the schools.

Britain has a space agency too, and they do interesting things with an even significantly smaller budget than the Esa.

But until they launch freedom onto Mars, honestly do you expect any of this to get into mainstream pop? NASA top space gun.

Still, I heard the people of Mount Olympian applied for EU memberships. Something about free robot maintenance and repairs and the right for androids to marry their toasters.

With the amount of cooperation between space agencies, it's hard to define where ESA ends and where the national space programs begin.

A lot of cooperation with NASA too; still distinct agencies.

At some point there was a space thread with a much better OP.  This is more like spam and unlikely to work out.
