The song reminded me of this:




Anyway. I don't know what gave people the romantic idea that a Martian colony would be, for some, a leisurely resort where one could simply lounge without having to lift a single finger, whole someone else did the work? Because for the first hundred years or more the colony will be a squalid dump where absolutely everyone will have to pull their weight and then some just to survive. Anyone even suggesting living there for free while everyone else toils would get ground up into mulch to grow potatoes pretty darn fast. What's Musk gonna do, send a stern email?

Kim Stanley Robinson wrote a book or two on the subject.
