The Interplanetary FutureIs Your Family Ready?
This is speculative philosophy grounded in real science.
We're exploring "what if" questions about Mars colonization that nobody's asking yet. Some of this will sound like science fiction. That's because we're literally discussing a science fictional future—except it's actually happening.
Is your family ready? Let's get weird...
"Your children will be temporal aliens. Not genetically. Temporally. They will age, celebrate, and understand time in ways so fundamentally different from you that you may have nothing in common."

The Question You Need to Ask Yourself
"If my child grows up on Mars, experiencing 1.88-year-long years and seasons that last months, will they understand my life? Will I understand theirs? What happens to a family when time itself becomes a dividing force?"
