A couple wins a contest to be on the first civilian spaceship to colonize Mars. After months of travel, they finally arrive and are greeted by the Martian AI administrator who says, “Welcome to New Mars Colony! Any questions before you settle in?”
The man says, “Yeah, my girlfriend and I were hoping to get married now that we’ve started a new life here. Is that possible on Mars?”
The AI says, “That is a complex inquiry. Please hold while I consult the interplanetary protocol database.”
Weeks go by. The couple plants potatoes, builds a dome, and argues about oxygen bills. Finally, after 42 Martian days, the AI returns and says, “Good news. Yes, Martian marriages are now authorized by Earth-Mars Treaty 7. You may proceed.”
The couple looks at each other and says, “Okay… but what if it doesn’t work out? Can we get a Martian divorce?”
The AI sighs and says, “It took 6 weeks to get approval for one wedding. Do you know how long it’ll take me to locate a Martian divorce lawyer? Earth still hasn’t sent any—they’re all too busy billing by the minute!”
