This ones been bothering me all day and I've had no one to vent it to:

I figure its only a matter of time before Mars declares independence from Earth. Funny thing to say seeing we haven't even put a man there yet, but the way I see it, its inevitable. First a man, then a colony, possibly some "greening" action, and suddenly they think they're capable enough to be independent. Maybe some ways down the road a viable trade partner a la USA and Britain.

So, over/under 200 years after we put a man on Mars they declare independence?
