5.0 Earth Benefits from Mars Sovereignty

Benefits associated with the declaration of an independent planetary state of sovereignty on Mars greatly exceed the negative impacts of earth based business and political considerations. This is a very broad statement but it presents a viable form of exploration and resource extraction.

Acting as a managed gateway to Mars a few of the benefits of a sovereign planetary state include:

5.1 Transportation - Space

1.      Single fleet of experienced and trained staff eliminates cost factor associated with independent fleet staff training and development

2.      More cost effective if a viable and reliable IPF fleet of standard production line models of space craft is available (Spacex Starship and the reusable Falcon lift rocket platform for example)

3.      Such platforms would render multiple vehicular developments by companies and countries redundant and a waste of money.

5.2 Skilled Work Force

1.      Onsite specialists able to conduct exploration and scientific endeavors as required without acclimation by multiple “national or business” teams having to endure the transitions and prolonged isolation

2.      Onsite skilled labor force in the form of colonists acclimatized and therefore more productive. Less down time as would be experienced by new arrivals in an adhoc exploration scenario

5.3 Facilities and Infrastructure - Earth

1.      Multiple launch sites around the globe utilizing the same technologies creates:

a.      Global access

b.      Increased launch reliability

c.      Reduced design costs

d.      Reduced manufacturing costs and facilities

e.      Multiple launch and recovery locations

5.3.1 Facilities and Infrastructure – Mars

1.      Pre established habitat and work camp bases of operation regardless of task

2.      Centralized organization and onsite support

5.4 Satellite Net

1.      Centralized planet based communications centre eliminating costly independent development

2.      Centralized Orbital Sat arrays for communications, GPS, weather, exploration etc.

5.5 Medical

1.      Fully functional and serviced health facilities eliminates trip by trip supply and staffing needs

2.      Full time medical research facility would decrease medical research time frames?

5.5 Research

1.      Onsite full function labs available

2.      Onsite experienced exploration support staff

3.      Onsite vehicular “garage” and multi-purpose vehicles available
