Not sure how I feel about Martian colonization, but if we manage to make it work, then yes. A memorial shall be erected in their honor.

I agree. A statue should be mounted so we can permanently remember the great Oppy.

The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion … but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact; non-Westerners never do.
