If the Mars colony isn't ready in time for you to live there, do you want to be buried there? In general, do Mars burials make sense as a quick, easy way to monetize a Mars colony? Do they make sense as a contribution to fertilizing Martian soil?
I would want the Mars colonists to send back enough Mars soil so I can be buried in it here.

What skill sets do you think will be most important for people arriving in the first 5 years of colonization of Mars? The next 5 years (first 10)? And the next 10 years (first 20)?
first ten years- The ability to fix balky equipment and skills in field exploration.
Second ten years- the ability to fix balky equipment and skills in construction, farming, and industrial engineering.

What are some must-have experiments or projects that need to be on the first unmanned Mars landing Starship? Also, could water be used as a radiation protection for future greenhouses, or living spaces. Like putting a bunch of water between the windows?
