Panel 1 (russian):
IVAN: I've got some good news for you today. The IMMP board has been trying to solve a problem for a while, and it looks like they've cracked it.
GISELLE: When and ‘ow will ze construction of ze unmanned rocket wiz ze vital resources to Mars get underway?
IVAN: I haven’t heard anything about that. We're more focused on how the construction of the industrial infrastructure on Mars can be achieved. Given the available resources, this would take months.
Panel 2 (russian):
GISELLE: And zen we'd be already dead and no longer profitable as workers.
Panel 3 (russian):
IVAN: You'll be joined by a new, very powerful working robot: Konan 1.0 Marsbot! It is 3 meters tall and can lift objects weighing up to 2 tons. And on Mars, correspondingly more.
BRUNO: Hm. Quite big. Good replacement for me.

Should be a great help. At least for the Russian IMMP division.

"You'll be joined by a very powerful working robot" Resolnates somehow these days doesn't it? Nicely conceived and written, Othosmops!

These days we are experiencing the tender shoots of a powerful robotization development that will lead to the construction of largely self-controlled Passepartout androids in 2075. The future has begun!

My local bus system (which is a horrible joke) recently bought a fleet of all electric buses. Which in an of itself is not bad. But they keep cutting routes and trips on the routes. So, the system really isn't much good at getting people anywhere. But DANG aren't they saving the planet. Same thing here.

If people have to continue using their cars, their new e-buses won't solve anything.

Hold on, that'll take up a lot of payload weight and space. What will they be leaving behind now?

This means either even less carry-on luggage or perhaps they had kept a corner free in the hold of the rocket for the dismantled Konan robot.
