    Maybe #KSR tried to tip the scale somewhat toward the reds (posthumously of course, since he killed most of them in action) intending to offset having Mars end up colonized, terraformed and with a new space elevator? Can you imagine him having the reds succeed in their struggle? I suppose he still needed to make a living in the US out of his writing…

    Besides, there is the inherent contradiction of living on Mars, a very inhospitable planet, but wanting it to remain pristine.

    ideological stance. Social conditions may be such in a distant future that may necessitate the expansion of humanity to other (made?)habitable planets. Subsidizing "space economy" for billionaires to build an oligarchy based on hype is not an acceptable reason, even if "the Party" says so.

    #KSR's novels are political, in the original, Aristotelian meaning of the word 'politics'. This piece discusses the potential of #utopian #scifi to shape the world:

    Ah, yes, Charitum Montes. John Boone flew there in a glider from the town Senzeni Na (meaning, "what have we done?" in Japanese), to talk to Ann Clayborne, after someone (maybe from the Reds?) attempted to assassinate him in a mohole near Senzeni Na.

    The maps show that flight on top of the georeferenced Tianwen-1 image 🙃
