Mars or Lunar Colony Preparation Community

We will be colonists. Our descendants will live among the stars. To prepare for this, we will research how best to survive physically and emotionally at optimal group sizes while optimizing mission/experiment goals. After initial research is complete, short location experiments will be done at cold and dry earth locations to prepare. We will also research community best practices, post-national sovereignty, and how to best cooperate with giant multi-planetary corporations.   What is the hold up? We are only waiting on adequate energy generation and thrust engine technologies. Our community will be ready when these technologies become a reality. If these technologies are capital intensive we will need to negotiate with Government or Corporate entities. If the technological capital requirements are low to medium in cost, strap in ladies and gentlemen! We will go it alone.   Community organization will be experimentally controlled by optimization algorithms using cutting edge Artificial Intelligence. No politics only productivity.   Community values will be balanced between individual autonomy and group loyalties grounded in a post-industrial theology that acknowledges the intrinsic worth of every “seed” of the earth seedpod, and stands in awe of the immensity and complexity of the universe which is ours to explore.   Community finances will be fully shared subject to experiment or colony rules. If we contract with governments/corporations each member will be able to accept or reject the community offer for off-world mission inclusion.
