So last night one of my friends asked

“ say I got pregnant and then I boarded a shuttle to Mars ( it takes about 8 months to get there ) and I delivered the baby on Mars, would my child be the first Martian??? Quit laughing girls, now hear me out, I mean unless we find life on Mars, would an Earthling born on another planet inherit that planets identity? “

I look at her like

But then I thought about how it 🤔 Does she make a valid point?

Nationality and race are different things so i dont think so. I think they would have to have been evolved from mars to be a maritan otherwise you are just another earthling.

@Ashly you wont live to see that, or your children, or your children's children. As they say in the military, worry about it when it happens.

@Rokan that’s true, but I still stress over things I can’t even control 🤷🏻‍♀

@Ashly i suppose we all do a bit
I think of it as the reverse; planetary identity put on someone as a means of identify for where they came out. hasn't been an issue yet (well, except at a continent/country scale) since as far as we know all humans ... I think. have been earth based.
I guess we could send some pregnant women up to iss to have kids so any future martians won't feel as alone or boundary breaking.
we could call them LEOs ... or maybe just 'orbiters'.
spinners? 0-g,baybee.
hey this name inventing is more fun than I'd imagined.

@stound it’s a dilemma that will probably occur in this century 🤔

@stound that is an odd hobby. Inventing insults and pejoratives for people that don't yet exist. 🤔

I’ll go with that, as long as we can agree that being born on earth’s moon would make you Luny 😂
Ashly · 26-30, F
@Zaphod42 a moon child? 😂 or yea Luny 😆
WandererTony · 56-60, M
If the child is born before landing on mars, would that be Rocks for rocketborn? 🤔

Also once landed, would ageing be in earth years or mars years? When would he or she get voting rights 🤔

@WandererTony 🤔 Interesting… 🧠

wait wait wait…
Now how is she certain it will only take 8 months to get there?
She might consult Musk then redo the math!
Ashly · 26-30, F
@Kiesel hmm fair point 🤔
We’ll send her when she’s 1 month pregnant then 😆

@Secretsmile dual citizenship? 🤔
Secretsmile · 51-55, F
@Ashly yes
TheRascallyOne · 31-35, M
Is her man short and green
Ashly · 26-30, F
@TheRascallyOne he’s short but light brown 😂
vetguy1991 · 51-55, M
Well id probably say so
Jeephikelove · 51-55, F
Sure why not!
That's pretty much the plot of Stranger in a Strange land. 👀
Ashly · 26-30, F
@NerdyPotato woah 😮
I’ll have to check that out
Or let her know about it
@Ashly it's a pretty interesting story, though I can't finish it. It's a book from the 50's or 60's I think, and extremely misogynistic. That's just too annoying after a while.
Ashly · 26-30, F
@NerdyPotato I see
Those were different times tho so I understand the norm but if it’s an interesting story I’d definitely consider looking at it
empanadas · 31-35, M
