Throughout human history people have found the courage to venture into the unknown. Many looked for ways to live in peace, some found God. There are lessons we can learn as we go forward if we choose to join together at this critical point in history. AI makes this possible, will we do it?

It’s just a matter of time until humans begin living on another planet. Can we finds ways to live in peace there, forever, beginning as soon as 2031? We are about to find out during the next ten years.

Colonizing Mars is humanity’s biggest ever venturing into the unknown. Martian colonists must be self-governing. Which rules and laws will they choose to honor and obey? Will they use AI and robots to finally find the path to forever peace? Will AI find and succeed in distilling all known knowledge, including the combined teachings and wisdom of 130 generations of people over the past 3,500 years, including those who found their way to God? We will know soon.

The Appalachian Accords Project

Fourmars Space Mining Company is founded on Judeo-Christian ethics, morals, principles, and laws. We are open to people of all faiths, or no faith, who agree to live in peace with each other, forever. As the company grows we will jointly craft documents to govern ourselves seeking the best combination of peace and prosperity. The Appalachian Accords Project is our way of finding forever peace which has evaded humanity for millennia. We may fail just like all who have gone before us, but imagine what life will be like if we succeed.
