    The assumption is simple - people who will not have the money to finance their own trip to Mars will be given the option to take out a loan, which they will then pay off by working for the emerging colony. The trouble is, what looks harmless on paper can turn out to be a terrible fate in practice. In these games, there is no shortage of stories about exploited workers whose lives are not much different from slavery. A lot of The Outer Worlds threads are devoted to the dark sides of capitalism, while in Red Faction: Guerrilla the community - nomen omen - of Mars is forced to murderous work by corporations from Earth. Of course, it is worth bearing in mind that a trip of this type is a really big decision and probably only people who really want it and will be fully aware of the consequences will decide on it. For many people, the opportunity to take part in such an expedition may even be worth a loan that has been worked off for most of their lives - and if people decide to take out long-term loans to buy an apartment or build a house, why not do it to go to Mars? It is worth noting that Elon Musk himself also intends to be one of the colonizers. The billionaire emphasized that he wanted his words and plans related to the Red Planet to be taken seriously, and not regarded as empty talk and the whim of a rich man. This is why he gets rid of most of his possessions and possessions.
