"#Multinational corporations have grown so large as a result of #globalization that they have sufficient economic power to take over or strongly manipulate national #governments, continually attempting to take over competitors in order to become the sole controller of the #interplanetary market" en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mars_tri

Continued thread

Localization of the first trip to the North Pole in #KimStanleyRobinson's #RedMars, with a stop at Chasma Boreale, where an Ice Miner was dropped by air at coordinates 41 W, 83 N to extract water for use in Underhill.

The first map is a polar projection showing the trip from Underhill to the North Pole.

The second map is a detail of the approach to the pole, drawn on an #ESA #MarsExpress image processed by @andrealuck , from here: mastodon.social/@andrealuck@fo

Anyone reading Kim Stanley Robinson's "Mars Trilogy" or any part of it quickly realizes that while the novels are full of technical details, there are very few maps and those that exist are very coarse.

Here are some maps I made while reading the books a several years ago, showing cities, places and plot info. The background is a USGS Topographical Map from Wikipedia: upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia
