[@tracychristenson177]

I think, if we have colonies on Mars, even international ones, they should have at least a basic set of rules/laws and some basic organizational system for starting out, set up before they even leave Earth. Starting a new colony would be a hard life, and it would make it harder if the colonists have to completely reinvent society from scratch as some random, disorganized collection of people. If they have at least some basic system, even if they end up changing it later, it would give them something to start from.

Has anyone ever took the time to look at the description and how much effort he puts into these videos? There's over 30 websites he used, at least half of them are articles that he probably fully read. Not to mention, he has to make a script in a way that the average person can understand that lasts up to 18 minutes. And finally, someone has to edit everything he says, as well as add all the extra scenery videos like the Earth at the right spot that he says. I love this channel.

Why does Mars need a flag? Earth doesn't have a flag

[@firemonkey4379]

I feel like they should divide a certain area and make it the first state or country of Mars and make that the temporary flag of Mars since different countries in the distant future may try to occupy Mars as well.

[@Halo1138]

The first colony would essentially be everything. Once a Martian society forms, they may likely form countries or regions, states, provinces, stuff where flags can be useful again. A Martian flag like the one above would be very symbolic. I mean, it's the first flag for the first colony on the first planet inhabited other than Earth.

Same. I always wonder what our purpose is, and how we are merely a speck of a speck of a speck of a speck of dust compared to the size of the universe. It's dumbfounding, and it makes me wonder why we're even here. What the purpose is. I guess the purpose is to be happy, believe in God if you do, and if you don't, don't. Love everyone, and declare to yourself that everything matters- that every little thing makes an enormous difference in the world. It's hard to find purpose sometimes, and that's understandable.

[@pipess7064]

@@nekad2000 I think the main issue with COVID is that while we sit on our thrones of silicon, glass fiber, and radio waves, a relatively meager disease managed to sit us down and slap us around. It speaks volumes about the public, governments, cultures, idiocy, and the limitations of our capabilities. So yes, forgettable in its fatality. But major in its social effects and as a crack in the window of our illusions of power.
