Sure we can. We'll claim Mars and then sell a portion of it to retire
the federal debt. What's half of Mars worth, say, 10 trillion
dollars?

In the absence of any economic opportunities, the land on Mars isn't worth
10 cents.

Only a compelling economic opportunity on Mars will make the land worth
anything.
