Does failing to land a crew on Mars this decade diagnose the same choice that explains no Dyson spheres?

Is the cheap step a landing we could take, or a settlement we have not shown we can take?

Which object does "we have the technology" claim: a flag, or a city that does not need Earth?

Can the 2030s attempt stay alive with no cargo from Earth, and is that what "we have the technology" already showed?

If a private firm can still attempt the expansion the treasury will not fund, has the civilization chosen hospice?

Is a live private expansion attempt an export path, or evidence the mechanism has not closed?

Is the zero-escape-rate counted in treasuries or in species?

Do three fiscal-stress rows, one still running, identify abundance-removed-pressure as a mechanism with escape rate zero?

Are the fiscal series a signature of pressure removed, or of states spending past capacity for other reasons?

Was existential pressure actually gone at the crossover dates, or do the rows keep their forcing functions?

Can one specimen be ordered as pressure-gone, then crossover, then will-drop?

Can a Mars constitution bind growth incentives if the load-bearing mechanism is loss-aversion-in-abundance?

If no Earth civilization achieved the charter, is that a reason to try it on Mars, or evidence the instrument does not work?

Who, with what authority, installs expansion-values against the mechanism the rest of the page describes?

What leftover would we have seen if rich non-expanding civilizations existed, that we would not see if nobody existed?

Is hospice a new filter, or a story told about the same empty sky the grabby-alien absence already names?
