There is a lot of talk about colonizing mars (or other bodies in our solar system). What's the threshold to start talking about colonizing? What checkboxes have to be ticked to talk about colonialisazion?
Probably below threshold:
- First humans land on a planetary body and return
- A permanent base has be built which is not permanently inhabitet
- A permanent base has been established and is permanently inhabited
- We can do ISRU to get comsumables to not depend on deliveries from outside for consumables
That last point could maybe be a point wher we could start to talk about colonialisation.
