Spoiler warning for the martian. the audibook is on youtube, go listen to it or read it and then come back if you give a poo poo. How is it that watney didnt have permission to take over ares 4? so the hab was nasa owned, he was talking with nasa, and they were cool with him getting to ares 4. Where does the space piracy come in if he had permission to do that and they were encouraging him to make the trip? Why did he say no one gave him explicit permission if they were giving him so many designs and advice on alterations? Was it like a black ops mission? Or was the ares 4 not owned by nasa, and instead an international consortium and nasa didn't have the right to give unilateral permission to watney? e: butchered the title, should be "How was mark watney a space pirate". tia if a mod goes and fixes it

Just because you have permission to enter a place don't mean you can ransack the place

who owned the ares 4? and how does international waters work in this regard? If im on a ship, and there is another ship and im in contact with the owner of that other ship and they say "yea board it man make it your home" is that not ok? Because that seems like what happened KoRMaK fucked around with this message at 23:09 on Jan 3, 2016 |

Here are the relevant parts OP, the ellipses signifying me jumping a paragraph or two: I've been thinking about laws on Mars... There's an international treaty saying no country can lay claim to anything that's not on Earth. And by another treaty, if you're not in any country's territory, Maritime law applies. So Mars is "international waters". NASA is an American nonmilitary organization and it owns the Hab. So while I'm in the Hab, American law applies. As soon as I step outside, I'm in international waters. Then when I get in the Rover, I'm back to American Law. Here's the cool part: I will eventually go to Schiaparelli and commandeer the Ares 4 lander. Nobody explicitly gave me permission to do this, and they can't until I'm aboard Ares 4 and operating the comms system. After I board Ares 4, before talking to NASA, I will take control of a craft in international waters without permission. That makes me a pirate! A Space Pirate! #1 bestselling book of 2015

Heres the thing - they gave him permission when he was in the rover because thats where the complicated convos were happening, an area under american law. Or is it that, since the ares 4 was on mars nasa can't say they own it when no one is it it?

I forget the details but since he wasn't given explicit permission he technically becomes a Space Pirate in his mind the real issue is that there are no proper Space Laws yet, so applying Maritime Law to Mars seems like a stretch to me

IIRC in the book he blows up his only means of communication with NASA through a dumb fuckup and just heads out to Ares 4 on his own.
