A private company leading the charge on colonizing mars has got me thinking. What is to prevent mars from becoming the ultimate company town? The company would hold life and death over any other company on the planet, they would get to decide who can and can not invest. Want to strike over working conditions? company can just stop sending supplies and would probably be able to remotely shut stuff off, they would def control the only stores and supplies.
