    Either (voluntarily) 50 years after Earth has been rendered uninhabitable by the upper class who has since moved to Mars or (involuntary) 50 years before that.

      Definitely the second one. Some one needs to build their mansions and resorts before they get there. Our blood will be there red carpet

            It’s more cost-effective to create horrible working conditions for people on Earth than to send them to Mars for it. Just set the launchpad somewhere with very lax worker rights’ laws (or better, somewhere where you can “lobby” for laws to become looser).

            Being an evil robber baron is no excuse for inefficiency.
