Free the Martians!

What a beautiful vision of the exploration and settling of Mars! The vision is sketched and some practicalities discussed. A few caveats:

"Until Mars is turned into private property, the only alternative means of exploring and exploiting that planet is through the forced service--in other words, the enslavement--of others: either the explorers who develop land that is later expropriated from them or the taxpayers who are forced to pay for that exploration."
...
"If no private organization wants to explore Mars in the absence of government financing, then-unless there is a valid military need-Mars should not be explored."
