Following NASA's announcement that "substantial" amounts of liquid water once existed on Mars, Art & Logic, Inc. is studying the feasibility of outsourcing computer programming tasks to the Red Planet. The company hopes to establish early dominance in the Martian outsourcing market, should a Martian civilization ever be discovered. Some industry analysts believe Art & Logic has entered the Martian outsourcing game too early. Citing the lack of lifeforms and breathable atmosphere, skeptics think the company's research spending is running amok.TrackBack URL for this entry:

Speaking of Earth based jobs here is a Question for any one and all to chime in on?
What is stopping commercialization and privatization of space?
Here is what I think are some of the reasons that for what we are lacking.
1 places to go
2 ways to get there
3 cost
How could this be changed?
1 creation of mini ISS (Hotels in space) at differing orbits and inclinations
2 create new xprize contest for Taxi to new hotels
3 new consumer based needs for resupply for Hotel chains
