If a Moon or Mars colony declares independence, can someone on Earth become a citizen without ever going?

So the question of the day is: If a Moon or Mars colony declares independence, can someone on Earth become a citizen without ever going? Passport, vote, tax. No longer governed from Earth. All from a couch

Is the Tesla Semi the Mars Vehicle Everyone Needs?

So the question of the day is: Is the Tesla Semi the Mars vehicle everyone needs? Cybertruck works for fast, long runs. The colony still needs bulk haul and mobile habitats. And they can fit in Starship.
