>>5274083True enough, it is a polite cover for our purpose but sooner or later or probably even immediately Mars will know our true intentions. We're just not going to give them a hook from which they can legally summon us to mars.
I don't equate shitting on the Martian leadership as necessarily doubt of us landing, quite the opposite.
We're just gonna land there when we're ready for it. When we have the Admech at our back.
