Zach WeinersmithBahaha, there was a thread on the Bird Site talking about A City on Mars. The usual ad hominem stuff, but for the first time a guy implied we were maybe being paid by China. For the record, of the Chinese government wishes to fund longterm research projects on space settlement science (A) they really need to work on their propaganda game (B) please direct them to my bank account at once
Mr. Big John 
@ZachWeinersmith is it an "Elon says we're gonna live on Mars by next Thursday, so you're wrong!" kind of thing?
@johnhattan I think they see us as part of an anti-human degrowth movement trying to stop their thing because we're cowardly or jealous.
@ZachWeinersmith ahh, you're one of them Reactionary Luddites that show up in every science fiction story as soon as someone comes up with a huge scientific breakthrough.
Cool. You're a trope!
