Anthropology of a Martian Colony: Why would NASA need a Mahatma Gandhi in Neil Armstrong?

Abstract. The paper presents a need for the scientific community that venture on large scale plausible models of a human colony on Mars to consider the historic friction among human societies to accept cultural diversity especially when economic and social circumstances change in favor of one group or one household. Addressing social conflict is a complex exercise similar to human creativity that has in the first place created a scientific society that is culturally diverse to make Space travel a reality and itis unlike providing a blue print for a simple machine.Keywords.
