Divinum Comoediae (divine comedy) Earth is on the edge of it’s own destruction. We are ruin planet earth whit our crimes, dirty industries and overpopulation. Why spending so much time and money for the colonisation on Mars? There is nothing there, it is a dead star a better name for Mars is Inferno (hell). We need to save earth and for that we will use Mars.

 

First of all, we are sending all the worlds prisoners to Mars. It’s a fort and anthill, we are literally putting our prisoners underground. Everything is made with an underlying meaning and symbolise something. Like inferno (the 9 circles of hell) represent the height of the punishment. How higher the punishment, how deeper you will fall underground. Also when people die we put them in the ground. You are already dead to us… to us it doesn’t matter anymore if you don’t come back. You can work your trust back. The anthill represents a maze, we cannot allow prisoners to escape an anthill is like a maze and it is underground. Transportations, by sending the prisoners to their workstations by train it represents the work camps in the WWII. These thoughts are serious and it will affect the prisoners psychologically.

 

Second, prisoners need to work and earth need to be cleaned and need more space. By sending al the dirty industry to Mars, are getting the prisoners there work and earth get saved from the global warming. The thought alone, smelling fresh air makes me happy. Also we have a lot more space, so the overpopulation stops.
