An incredibly funny short featuring some “corporate culture” quips and a slathering of pithy Mars humor. Notwithstanding all it’s great comedic value, this sci-fi short will force you to reevaluate your life. To think about where you fit in the cosmos. The quote that ends the piece is nothing short of beautiful:

“Sooner or later every man comes to a crossroads. Settle into comfortable mediocrity or seek greatness, entering the wilderness of his own intuition. Unfourtanetly, most are too blind to recognize opportunity when it knocks. Others recognize it, but only after it’s too late, and yet – for some of us – the lucky few, that wake-up call simply cannot be ignored. We take the exit ramp, light out for the territory, our sails full of the mix of rocket fuel and hell-fire. With new roads come new joys, also trials, like unpredictable rock storms, or carbon monoxide breathing GMO monkeys in the canyon, but a gem cannot be polished without friction, and so a man forges the tools that will sustain him on the road ahead. Meticulously tending to the garden of his soul, and when it finally bears the fruits of his labor, well, then he will know the satisfaction of being nobody but himself. A colony of one.”
