Libs will demand it to be aborted. Unless it can change it’s gender. Or just claim a new gender.

Great post.
In the minds of most people (that’s the rational ones) the chief impediment to a Mars colony is TECHNICAL.
I think as the perceived feasibility of the Marse Colony challenge builds, another question will get sharper and sharper:
“Will mankind WORSEN Mars in some sense and therefore, SHOULD this infection we know as civilization go there..?”
The insane people who ponder that (or pretend to, hoping to signal their greater virtue or to be somehow be BOUGHT OFF by more productive types) have lots of influence.
Most people have barely heard of this central question and we need to smash the trolls before we spend too much money along this path.
They’re going to be a YUGE obstacle.
Just make sure the little guys on the water aren't the human bait put out by the big guys on the water...
This is a change, Zubrin used to say, why stop colonization because of some native life, that’s insane!
