For the boss of SpaceX, the first Martian colony will not obey the laws and governments of Earth. This mention is indeed in the Starlink terms of use. The interested party evokes rules of self-determination whose nature will take shape at the time of the creation of the colony on Mars.
Currently, Elon Musk is the subject of a recurring joke on the web. Some Internet users say they are accumulating evidence that the boss of SpaceX is an extraterrestrial. However, a recent news could also appear in this list. A publication on the Reddit platform on October 29, 2020 indeed points to a hidden position in the terms of use of the Starlink project . Recall that SpaceX has indicated that it wants to launch the beta program soon at 99 dollars per month. Let's also mention the fact that this company is thinking of adapting its project to Mars colonization. According to the document relayed on Reddit, SpaceX believes that no Earth law will not apply on Mars and that no land government shall exercise its authority there.
“The parties acknowledge that Mars is a free planet and that no Earth-based government has any authority or sovereignty over Martian activities. Accordingly, disputes will be settled according to principles of self-determination established in good faith at the time of the Martian colonization “, can we read in the document.
As The Independent explained on October 20, 2020, the first step in Mars colonization is none other than the installation of a self-sufficient city . In other words, it should not depend on supplies from Earth. On the other hand, Elon Musk did not mention the schedule of operations. He stressed, however, that this project was well underway and scheduled to be completed before a cataclysmic event take place on our planet. According to the person concerned, it could be a comet hitting the Earth, the awakening of a super-volcano or even a nuclear armageddon.
The Starship is the spacecraft that SpaceX designed to carry out the missions relating to the colonization of Mars. This one carried out several flight and landing tests based on the company in Texas (USA). According to Elon Musk, the first uncrewed mission should take place as early as 2024.
In addition, Elon Musk has in the past several times referred to the construction of a city on Mars. In 2019, the latter mentioned the mobilization of 1,000 spacecraft to transport the necessary resources. The construction of this city should take about twenty years , a duration deemed too optimistic by some experts. Remember that in March 2020, Elon Musk caused a stir by revealing his fears that the first Martian city would not appear during his lifetime.
