If either first base is unoccupied or there are two outs, and the catcher does not cleanly catch the third strike on a batter, the batter may try to reach first as if the ball was hit in the field of play.
The pitcher is still credited with a strikeout, but if the batter reaches first before the defense can get the ball there he is safe at first. This means that it's possible to record more than three strikeouts in one inning - in the majors there are 74 pitchers who have recorded four in an inning.

Since Mars would be more likely to have wars among-st itself before wars against Earth.

Psh-aw.
I am against the notion of humanity automatically having the will to unify in order to go out into space.
In a way, I find it more likely that bodies like the EU would separate outwards when we have to leave Earth, because everyone will think of different places for suitable colonies.

Eventually it becomes an excuse for everyone to drop it.
Something similar to how the League of Nations became irrelevant.
