@straczynski Without dragging you too far into the current Twitter Mars-colonization rabbit/hell hole, can you talk a bit about the Mars colony in B5? I know you talked ship design with JPL; did you also go into the feasibility of a functioning colony in the next 250 years?

I'm wondering about the psychology of the Mars colonists as much as the actual technological feat of establishing it, e.g. was Mars "simply" an analogue of historical Earth colonies or was there something about the Mars colonists that led them to resistance and rebellion?

Maybe (!) too much to cover in a tweet or two, but I don't recall any discussion of it from the script books or other writings, and I know you've got social science background that could have informed the Mars storyline, so I figured I'd put the question out there.
