![red mars](https://images.duckduckgo.com/iu/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fd.ibtimes.co.uk%2Fen%2Ffull%2F1418859%2Felon-musk-mars-colony-satellites.jpg&f=1)

## Runsheet

- Preflight checklist

  - 2 phones, both with hotspots on, no security. 3G off. 

    - Tape the SSID and password to the phone. One 'EARTH' one 'MARS'

  - Set up 2 new friended identities

    - `mv ~/.ssb ~/.ssb_mars_backup`

    - do test startup, 

      - add your names + avatars (Mission Control, Mars Commander 1)

      - mutual follow

  - usb disks with all installers

  - everyone has internet turned off.

  - projector checked working

  

- set up for participants

  - check no existing ssb users

    - if yes, do backup of .ssb folder or sit out.

    - sort into groups, connect to correct hotspot.

    - ask people not to connect to the internet during the workshop.

    

        

- Role play

  1. establish Earth / Mars bases

  2. do some internal dialogue

    - follow each other

    - messages

    - images

    - demonstrate subjectivity somehow?

  3. have a person come from Mars to Earth (and return)

  4. stimulate divergence: 

    - come up with Mars nicknames

    - instate President of the Earth / change mission control

    - stage a revolt (be coercive from Earth)

 

 - Notice / diff

   - where's the DB

   - how the identity

   - public / private keys

   - content addressable storage

   - no API

   - resilient to disasters (politics, envionmental)

   - cli dump of your feed on projector

   - roll your own interface / messages

   - 

- Internet for Mars

  - stay in touch with Earth (high latency)

  - must work with low infrastructure

- Role play

  - Terrans

  - Martians

- Hey we've built a prototype for the Mars colony.

- Role play

    - What are the locations?

        - Earth, Mars, Ship?

        - Colony, Outpost, Earth?
