Taxing Mars
Maan if you look at a 'sales tax for an item that is purchased where the 'sales tax is applicable to certain persons from certain regions.

Malin Space Space Science Systems
www.msss.com - operates the Mars Global Surveyor.

.....check out one of their posters for/from the orbiting satelite. A whopping 7.75% TAX for people who live in California.

When you dont live where your purchasing from where the item is taxed you dont pay the sales tax.

Could this be the first tax on mars. Or shouldn't this simply be exempt.

I could see 2 or 3 %,but this is rediculous.Considering the other costs of doing business over the web.


-just talking.Web browse..Spirit(Nasa),Oportunity(Nasa),and Beagle2(ESA) are landers heading to Mars within the next 3 months.Was trying to figure from photos their exact geographical landing positions. (Jan,Feb,Dec 03 respectively).
