What a silly remark.  The big empires may have been "too far apart to

Before anyone can borrow, they have to have something, even if just
a business plan, to borrow against. Credit does not last long if you
miss payments.

Where did the money come from to make the payments?

Mercenaries were a part of the Spanish military force and lead by
Spanish military leaders.

Where the cannon fodder originates from is irrelevant.

And military conquests are irrelevant to Martian colonies unless the
Martians are hiding underground.

Sure it is.

To survive longer than 5 seconds on Mars takes a big pile of 21st

Hey, that's how they could keep people interested in a Martian reality
show, have an explosive decompression and watch people die in seconds.

You really don't understand anything about any of this, do you?  Where

Nothing.

The pre-Columbian Americas had a population estimated by scholars of
somewhere beteen 50 million and 100 million people.

The technology level of the more advanced civilizations was roughly
equivelant to the Bronze Age in Europe and iron pre-Columbian arifacts
have been found indicating they were on the leading edge of the Iron Age.

Thses peoples and civilizations existed for thousands of years before
any European arrived.

Therefore it is obvious that support from Europe is not needed to be able
to survive and thrive in the Americas.

Mars on the other hand requires 21st century technology to survive for
longer than about 5 seconds, i.e. the time of useful consciousness at
the pressure on the surface of Mars. The pressure is so low it is below
the Armstrong limit which means the human body requires a pressure suit,
not just an oxygen mask.

Comparing colonization on Mars to colonization of the Americas is mostly
pointless on that fact alone and becomes entirely so when the complete
lack of available drinking water and food sources is concidered.

21st century technology rquires global resources that are spread all over
the Earth, a global transportation system to bring those resources to
processing centers to make raw stock and transportation to fabricating
centers to make finished goods.

It is unlikely that resource distribution is any different on Mars than
it is on Earth, other than the complete lack of hydrocarbon sources such
as petroleum. coal, and natural gas.

Until such global transportation and manufacturing abilities exist on
Mars, the only way a Martian colony could expand, or even maintain
the technology, to eventually become self sustaining is to import parts
and finished goods from Earth. Note that we are talking about real
technology like computers, enviromental controllers, motors with rare
earth parts, etc., but even 20th century technology such as sheet
aluminimum, all the alloys of steel, and plastics will take a long
time.

If it is actually a colony with life time residents and kids, after not
too many years the population increases from Martian births and the
technology gets older and more prone to failure and the need for supplies
to maintain and expand infrastructure increases on the high end tech stuff.

Someone has to pay for the acquisition and transport of the parts and
goods to Mars.

There are two ways to pay that bill:

1. Gifts from Earth, i.e tax money.

2. Profit from Martian exports.

Given that maintaining even a small colony will cost billions of dollars,
and expanding it planet wide untold trillions of dollars, it is unlikely
to be payed for from gifts.

There is no resource on Mars that has enough profit in exporting it to
Earth to generate those untold trillions of dollars so exports are out
also.

If someone thinks otherwise, name that good.

The model for initial financing by charging the colonists for transport
would get things started but as the rate of colony population grows
and the number of people wanting to go to Mars decreases you quickly
find that that is a Ponzi scheme in the long run.

Yes and no.  There was ONE culture that developed bronze age
technology but underused it (mostly for decoration, so the color was
more important than the quality of the metallurgy).  That gradually
spread, was lost, spread again.  

Iron Age?  No.

After you've had thousands of years.  Again, most inhabitants of the
new world were right at the edge of survival.  Jim never explains why
so many cultures and colonies died.

Jim needs to learn more about just what it takes to survive on Mars.
Air and water aren't that difficult.  Jim ignores any evidence that
disagrees with his preconceptions.  All it really takes for SURVIVAL
on Mars is power, which is not that hard to bootstrap.  Yes, you have
to bring in some 'starter' resources.  This shouldn't be any surprise
to anyone, but seems to astound Jim and leave him with the view that
that somehow makes colonization impossible.

Incorrect.  Most Martian minerals are oxides of some sort, which makes
getting oxygen not all that difficult.  There is lots of available
water, which makes that simple as well as acting as another potential
source of oxygen.

Note that Jim is wrong here.  He imposes an unnecessary 'requirement'

Just like every other colony on Earth.  Life at the top requires
imports.  Life at the bottom, not so much.

Note that English colonies in North America could not 'pay that bill',
either.  Also note that Jim is rather unimaginative with regard to how
a Mars civilization could 'make money' and just ignores anything that
doesn't fit his "shipping rocks" mind set for 'products'.

Note that I've already done that for him.  He just doesn't like that
there is an answer, so he ignores it.

Most of those 'untold trillions' are largely in 'internal to Mars'
money and thus are unrelated to his 'shipping rocks'.  Ask yourself
how the American West was settled.

I'll just note that for some reason Jim thinks that Mars colonization
will attract people in exactly the reverse of every other colonization
in the history of the human race.  The number of people wanting to
colonize doesn't decrease over time.  As a colony grows interest in
colonization by those at home INCREASES.  Colonization is easier
because more infrastructure is present and it's just 'easier' to go to
the colony.  Costs are lower with time, both in transport and in the
supplies you have to bring.

80% to 90% from European diseases, so apparently it was before the
Europeans showed up.

The time it took to happen is irrelevant, it happened.

0% to 90% of the indiginous people died from European diseases for which
they had zero immunity.

And as I have said several times before, the Europeans mostly died of
stupidity; chasing non-existant gold, disease, not tending to crops,
poor site planning, fighting with the indiginous people, fighting
with other political entities.

Nope, I never insisted on comparing colonization of Mars to colononization
of the Americas, that was you.

I actually think that comparison is childish, stupdid, and ignorant
of reality.

Power gives you some air and water, but it is not a magic bullet if
talking about a large, growing colony as opposed to a research station
with limited needs.

For example, it has been said there is frozen water below the Martian
surface so all that needs to be done is dig it up and melt it.

That is all well and good until you have dug up all the ice in the
area, which unlike a flowing river, does not replenish itself quickly.

The point was those resources, just like the Earth, are most likely 
spread all over the planet and not all in one nice neat place.

The resources needed to support 21st century technology consists of
most all of the first 98 elements of the periodic table.

See above and the number of elements needed to support 21st century
technology.

An expanding colony requires expanding resources and repair parts that
can not be supplied locally until you have a global colony as described
above.

Note that the requirements to survive in a 16th century world
are entirely different than the requirements to survive on Mars.

And no matter how you try to evade it, someone has to pay for it.

Nope, again we are talking about the trillions in stuff that has to be
acquired on Earth and shipped to Mars to maintain and expand the colooy.

The American West was settled by farmers in horse drawn wagons with
hand tools and sacks of seed, which is hardly relevant to Mars.

So where do sign up so I can take my horse drawn wagon accross the
Martian plains and settle in a nice spot near a stream, build a log
cabin and plant my crops?

Apparently there is free flowing water on Mars periodically, so it

That's why you pick your spot(s) instead of just plopping your ass

Both false and irrelevant.  Irrelevant because you have now not
talking about 'self-sufficient' survival anymore, but totally import
free.  By that measure, there aren't any successful colonies in North
America yet; they're still importing.

Note that 'high tech imports required' is 'high tech imports

high tech in the 21st century.  That's why we're just getting around
to Mars.  DOH!

I think it would be more useful to you to suggest a place where you
can take your head and your ass and get them separated from each
other.

Nope; the time it took inidiginous peoples in the Americas to get to
bronze age technology has nothing to do with anything on Mars.

Sure it was until disease carrying Europeans showed up.

50 million to 100 million people and growing.

None of which has anything to do with Mars.

Yes, Earth. Earth with air, food, and water.

If survival on Earth is so difficult, how did cave man survive?

I never said anything about a rich suburb, those are your words.

I have ALWAYS been talking about basic survival.

Yep, and they work just fine with liquid water and not pipes.

There are definitely no rivers or creeks on Mars.

Unless the ice replenishes itself faster than you use it, you have to
go somewhere else for more ice.

That kind of works against having a large colony buried in the ground.

Yes, I'm sure all 98 elements are pretty much everywhere.

It is not that was on Earth and highly unlikely to be on Mars.

Self sufficient survival means not being dependent on imports to survive.

And guess what, 21st century technology couldn't exist on Earth without
imports either, just that we don't have to import it from somewhere off
the planet nor do we absolutely need it to survive.

No matter how many times you deny the truth, it is still the truth.

Yes, and the American West is pretty irelevant to Mars.

Establish a new family on Earth:

Load the horse drawn wagon the the wife, kids, hand tools, initial 
provisions for the trip, some caged chickens and a sack of seeds.

Find a nice spot near lumber and water sources.

Plant seeds, cut timber to build cabin,d dig a well so as to not have
to walk as far to get water, build a chicken coop, dig a hole and build
an outhouse. If you forgot to bring a plow, make a wooden one.

While waiting for the first crop, forage for wild vegetables, fish, and
hunt game and eat some of the eggs from the chickens.

If you see any Indians, don't piss them off; try to make friends.


Establish a new community on Earth:

Do several of the above and include some trademen like blacksmiths,
carpenters, and wheelwrights to form the town.


Establsh a new family on Mars:

Haul in a huge pile of technology, materials, tools, food, oxygen and
water and repair parts by some means.

Put up a radiation sheilded structure or bury a non-shielded staructure.

Install pressurization system with oxygen tanks and CO2 scrubbers.

Install water tanks and plumbing system with toilets and refuse system.

Install heating system.

Install water recyling system and refuse to fertilizer system.

Install power system to run it all. 

Set up system to generate oxygen from rocks and pipe it into the structue.

Set up system to mine ice, melt it, purify it, and pipe it into the 
structure tanks.

Set up pressurized environment to grow food and connect to the power,
water, and oxygen system.

Plant seeds.

While waiting for the first crop, eat the tons of provisions you brought
with you.

Prey nothing breaks and if it does that you have a repair part.

Establish a new community on Mars:

Do above N number of times.

Yep.  Europeans never saw anywhere near that number of indigenes.

Note that none of those say anything at all with regard to all the
folks who died having MET Europeans.  Europeans are frequently
postulated as the source of disease that led to the die off, but even
that isn't proven.  As Europeans explored the Americas they were
amazed at the scarcity of population.  Most of those who died did so
without ever having seen a European.

Cite your evidence for people using iron tools.  The only iron tools
I'm aware of being found in the Americas were some up in the Northwest
part of North America and they are believed to have come from Asia.

They barely used bronze tools, viewing bronze as decorative.  Most
tools were copper, stone, bone, or wood.

You keep asserting that the presence of these people and their level
of development are clear demonstrations that you could drop people
here 'naked and unafraid' and they would survive.  Now that the flaws
in your 'logic' are pointed out, it's suddenly got "nothing to do with
anything on Mars".

You won't have a colony that is economically self-supporting in the

OK, so you need sophisticated transport (look at what one of those
wagons cost), the best tools and technology you can afford carried
with you, lots of interim supplies, fittings to be able to put
together machines you'll need, etc.  Just like Mars.

Then I noticed you snipped the important part, so I'll just repost that part.

Establish a new family on Earth:

Load the horse drawn wagon the the wife, kids, hand tools, initial 
provisions for the trip, some caged chickens and a sack of seeds.

Find a nice spot near tree and water sources.

Plant seeds, cut timber to build cabin,d dig a well so as to not have
to walk as far to get water, build a chicken coop, take shelter in the
wagon until the cabin is built. 

Dig a hole and build an outhouse so you don't have to walk to the woods
to take a dump. If you forgot to bring a plow, make a wooden one.

While waiting for the first crop, forage for wild vegetables, fish, and
hunt game and eat some of the eggs from the chickens.

If you see any Indians, don't piss them off; try to make friends.

All of the tecnonology, other than firearms, is well over a thousand
years old.

All the stuff you have is hand made and most of it is made of wood.

The item with the most technology in it is a cast iron cooking pot.



Establsh a new family on Mars:

Haul in many tons  of technology, materials, tools, food, oxygen, water
and repair parts by some means.

While working in pressure suits...

Install power system.

Put up a radiation sheilded structure or bury a non-shielded staructure.

Install pressurization system with oxygen tanks and CO2 scrubbers.

Install water tanks and plumbing system with toilets and refuse system.

Install heating system.

Install water recyling system and refuse to fertilizer system.

Set up system to generate oxygen from rocks and pipe it into the structue.

Set up system to mine ice, melt it, purify it, and pipe it into the 
structure tanks.

Set up pressurized environment to grow food and connect to the power,
water, and oxygen system.

Plant seeds.

While waiting for the first crop, eat the tons of provisions you brought
with you.

Prey nothing breaks and if it does that you have a repair part.

The oldest technology you have is mid 20th century.

Everything you have is made by machines in factories.

The raw materials for the things you have had to be gathered from all
over the Earth.

Aluminum, for example, comes from  Australia, Brazil, China, India, Guinea,
Indonesia, Jamaica, Russia and Suriname, but not Pittsburg.

The lowest technology items you have are your aluminum alloy cooking utensils.

having supplies on hand.

Which won't be done at all the way it was done on Earth, with one
individual going off by themselves.  Now that I've pointed that out,
you'll claim that Earth colonization doesn't matter and that bringing
it up is stupid.

In other words, 'dig a hole'.  

All of the following is pretty much also self-contained and automated,
so all your 'install' and 'set up' is pretty much non-existent.

So to this point your 'install' and 'set up' amounts to plugging in
some power and water conduits.

What follows only applies if you intend to farm.  Jim may not be
aware, but we've moved away from agrarian societies over the last
several centuries.

You can't cook in cast iron anymore?  Wow, who knew?

It was usually groups that went off together, but upon arrival, everything
I have said is accurate.

Utter nonsense.

None that stuff is going to get out of the transport vehicle, site

The space cadet may not be aware, but we moved away from agrarian societies
at the end of the 19th century when farm machinery was invented and
farming became much less labor intensive.

The space cadet may not be aware, but the priorities on Mars would be
to ensure a constant supply of air, water, and food, in that order.

'A new family on Mars' would move into an existing settlement, so
everything you said was pretty much bullshit.

Plugs are 'old technology', chimp.  I'm sure even you can operate
them.  You know, if you would READ the things you're pointed to rather
than trying to construct a case for why they don't apply you would not
make such stupid statements.

Chimp, you know where you want to put it (the analog to your 'pick a
place with forests and water'), so you land it there.  Sited.  Yes, it
will 'unload itself'.  Out of the transport vehicle.  As for your
"connect itself", you're just being intellectually dishonest.  I said
you'd have to plug in power and water conduits (also oxygen).  Perhaps
that's too challenging for you, but most of us can handle plugging
things in.

You don't need to do 'site leveling'.  The automated equipment is
self-leveling.  You need to plug some connectors together.  I can
believe that's too hard for you, but then we'll be sending normal
human beings to Mars, not you.

The chimpshit may not be aware, but we have all sorts of agricultural
methods that have been developed since then and it probably hasn't
occurred to him that "less labor intensive" is what I'm talking about
and he's objecting to as not possible.

The chimpshit may not be aware, but the only one of those that is even
slightly complicated is the last one (and only because of the space
required).  The chimpshit may also not realize that since you bring
years worth of food with you when you come, you have time to work on
the whole 'local food production' problem.  It's not like you have to
solve it next Tuesday.

When you're moving a hundred tonnes at a time, is that really an
issue?  I don't think so, but of course Jimp The Chimp needed to find
a barrier to throw up...

not understand?

While such activities may be far beyond your ability, most people
before the 20th century were very adept at it.

Sure they were old technology, space cadet.

The last improvements were made when they started to be made of iron.

You are grasping at straws.

So how many codos are you going to build before the construction workers
pause and the colonist move in?

How does that in any way effect what you have to have other than bigger
and more everything?

Yeah, sure, space cadet.

Why would a power system have wheels and be able to drive itself, space
cadet?

What if the ground is uneven and the slightest bit rocky, space cadet?

Oh, I know, the autonomous bull dozer rolls out first and levels everything.

Yeah, sure, space cadet.

Sure it is an issue, space cadet, everything will be optimized to be as
light as possible while maintaining functionality.
 
To do otherwise is blazingly stupid even for you.

Do you think all the structures will be built of steel for cost or
aluminum for weight?

No doubt you 'know' all sorts of rather silly things.  Why, if you

Yeah, that's why Jamestown had to trade with the natives for food. And
at that they damned near starved to death one year (well, a lot of

'Construction workers'?  We're not talking about suburban Connecticut,
chimpshit.

It doesn't 'effect' anything, but it does 'affect' a few things, but
in ways that make it easier.  You probably already have excess power,
water, and air, because you'd add that stuff in 'blocks'.  That means
all you have to do is (potentially) dig a hole, drop an inflatable in,
blow it up, connect the couplings, and cover it all back up with dirt.

Again, you should have read the papers I gave you pointers to instead
of just throwing up objections and excuses for why you don't think
they apply because they don't talk about dogs and diapers.  Of course
it's going to do all that but 'connect itself'.  Do you never actually
read what is said to you?  I suspect your average Mars colonist can
handle hooking up a few fittings.

Go back and read the Mars Reference Architecture (no, really read it
this time).  In situ fuel production that starts years before humans
arrive.  Yes, it's going to get out of the transport vehicle, cite
itself, etc.  No assembly required.

Ditto with power, except the people will have to run some cables once
they get there.  Reactor lands itself several hundred meters from
where the habitat will be.  Yes, it's going to get out of the
transport vehicle, cite itself, etc.  When the habitat is in place,
plug in power.

You wouldn't say nearly so many stupid things, Jim, if you ACTUALLY
READ WHAT PEOPLE WRITE AND WHAT THEY POINT YOU TO.

How long have we been digging holes, Jim?  Here, educate yourself so
you can try to stop saying so much stupid shit:

http://www.ritchiewiki.com/wiki/index.php/Excavation

We've had excavating machinery and explosives for over a century. It's
19th century technology, chimp.  Of course we'll use more compact and
modern equipment on Mars, but it's still simple stuff.

There is no 'complexity of it all' except in your obstructionist mind.

You don't 'drive' anywhere, chimpshit.  You just drop the stuff where
you want it in the first place.

And even if you do have to 'drive' it, you know we have autonomous
vehicles already, right?  And we already have remote operated vehicles
on Mars (and that gets a lot easier once you take the lightspeed delay
out by actually being on site).

I think that's a blazingly stupid question.  The answer is 'neither,

That the indiginous peoples were not wiped out by European diseases and
that there were few people in pre-columbian Americas.

Yep, the stupid Europeans didn't properly tend to their fields and

Just saying wrong does not make it so.

Name any improvement to the axe since when they started to be made of iron.

The axe is a Stone Age tool.

Because I knew when you said it that what you came back with wouldn't
be what I said.  You really don't handle English very well at all, do
you?  Let me help you out just a bit.

What I said was something like "many of the native peoples' died
before they ever met a European".  Note that that is nothing like what
you claim I said, unless you believe that there is some reason that
disease cannot travel from native to native without an intervening
European contact.

What I said was "European explorers were surprised at how sparse the
native population was".  Note that this is not the same thing AT ALL
as "there were few people in pre-columbian Americas".  In fact, it's
talking about POST Columbian America.  

While there is no evidence I am aware of other than rough coincidence
in time that the disease(s) were from Europeans, let's pretend for a
moment that that's correct.  Let's examine how what I said is exactly
correct and how you, in your eagerness to accuse me of saying things I
never said, actually read things I didn't write.

Diseases move faster than settlers or even explorers, Chimp.  So we
get that initial European contact.  One or more natives get something
that they have no resistance to.  They go back to their villages and
expose a bunch of other natives (who have never met a European).  Some
of those folks travel in various directions (a relatively large
population is going to mean travel and trade) and expose yet more
natives who perhaps have not even HEARD of Europeans except as
rumours.  This goes on.  90% of the native population expires, most of
them never having met, seen, or even heard of Europeans.  

Meanwhile, Europeans, who are only present in small numbers, start to
explore and/or settle.  By the time they get any appreciable distance
from the site of initial contact, much of the native population has
died off.  The Europeans are surprised at how sparsely populated the
land is, not knowing that 90% of the people who lived there not all
that long before have disappeared.

And there's the problem, Jim.  You are so eager to pick fights with
people that you read things they've never written in order to do so.
That's well beyond merely being the asshole you present as and into
pathological mental illness.  And it's always the other person's
fault, whether it's you misreading something, you having some problem
with your newsfeed, or anything else.  It's NEVER Jimp.

Well, this was all you.  You made shit up I never said and then
proceeded to act as if I'd said it and insult me because YOU were
stupid.

It's just hopeless talking to you, Jim.  Reality just never really

then when you're proven wrong it's like, "Well, it didn't happen on

You brought it up.  What about them?  

Which one do you want to talk about, the felling axe, the splitting
axe, the broad axe, the adze, the hatchet, the carpenter's axe, the
hand axe, or the mortising axe?  Oh, wait.  None of those were really
'stone age tools', so I guess they are ALL improvements to the axe to
suit it for various purposes.  And those are just a few.

Let me make it simple for you.  Sometimes the payload is weight
limited and you care about that.  Sometimes the payload is volume
limited and you care about that.  Sometimes you don't have a full load
either by weight or by volume, so you get to throw in shit and don't
care what it weighs or about space or about both.

Go look up GAScan or CubeSat or any of a number of essentially 'free
riders' even given the limited and expensive boosters currently in
use.  Now scale all that up to 100 tonne payloads and frequent
launches.

You still won't get it, of course, but that's because you're
hopelessly stupid.

But they solve a lot of them, chimpshit.  Your question was "all the
structures".  ALL the structures won't be built out of steel or
aluminum or even kevlar.  A lot of them WILL be built out of kevlar,
though, and the others will be built out of whatever is required.

Wow, you are spectacularly and hopelessly stupid.

The diseases that caused the mass die off were non-existant in the

Which if flat wrong; European explorers were surprised at how many 
people there were.

More weasel words.

The explorers were the start of post Columbian America.

You mean other than they were non-existant until the first Europeans

You are the one that kept babbling about MEETING a Eurpean, not me.

All I said was the Europeans brought the diseases.

Let me make it simple for you. If you are setting up permanent living

Liar.  Go back and find me saying what you claim I said (as opposed to

The diseases that caused the mass die off were non-existant in the
Americas before the Europeans arrived.

You don't spontaneously get bubonic plague, chicken pox, pneumonic plague,
cholera, diphtheria, influenza, measles, scarlet fever, smallpox, typhus,
tuberculosis, and whooping cough.
