I believe Elon Musk’s target of inhabiting Mars is the next technological frontier so even the land mass once considered finite is now looking like its not.Well, yes, as i noted in the original post the oil/gas always were in the North Sea, but (a) the countries weren’t aware of it, and (b) couldn’t have extracted it anyway.If the Martian landmass really does come into play, i guess it won’t be very good for those countries with lots of land on earth.I’m certainly not suggesting that the exploitation of natural resources should be the entirety of our economy.
