Murder on the Moon
I'm sorry, I made the mistake of trying to make sense of something you've said. Obviously that is a fools errand.
Rational people read 'I think we should withdraw' in the context of a UN treaty, as a withdrawal of the USA from the UN. http://www.thenewamerican.com/world-...amexit-from-un Clearly, you're irrational. You plainly think the US a member of the security council and a founding member, can promote and sign UN treaties and withdraw from them, without that adversely affecting the seriousness of the UN as an institution. What a lunatic. On Monday, August 8, 2016 at 10:08:05 AM UTC+12, Fred J. McCall wrote: William Mook wrote: I agree. We should withdraw from the UN. I give the reasons why.

If there is a particularly interesting spot on Mars you might have a US colony and next to it a European colony, and also Russian, Chinese... Pretty soon, you don't want to do an EVA to go see your neighbour so you install some kind of connecting passages. Voilą. You don't always get the settlement you planned for. Yes, just like on Antarctica all the interesting stuff is in one spot and... oh wait.. no. We're talking the surface of an entire planet. I can't imagine there's a single spot that's THAT interesting that all nations converge on that spot. Also, it is true that there has been some international collaboration ą la ISS that where disasters. There are also some examples of international collaborations where different countries provide different segments that have worked very well (Airbus A380 for instance). There has also been numerous examples of single nation projects which were disasters. I don't know why you say nobody sane would do it that way.

Musk is building reusable launchers and a supply chain for mars colonisation. He will return crew members. Settlers will buy hardware to keep and use on Mars. The first persons to Mars will be crew members not settlers.
