Ressources, overpopulation and this kinf of stuff sounds like problem that can be solved with cheaper "earth" solution considering the absurd amount of time, money and ressources needed to start a colony on Mars. I guess the Europeens were facing similar cost when colonizing America, but I still wonder if the need for Mars colonization is fundamentally realistic or not, on a socio-economic point of view ?

I noticed this sort of metallic beam a long time ago and thought it was only decorative, but for some reason I noticed only now that there is litterally a cockpit right next to it. What do you think it is ? My first guess was of course a tractor beam, but there is one right above it - and it's been here since the beginning. What are y'all opinions ?
