Just for fun: Name that city
@justinsunsteemit asks (on Twitter): What will be the name of the first city on Mars?
My guess: X Station
My new guess: X Landing (Updated September 28)
Fun fact: There's a town near me called, Exton. One theory has it that the town's name was derived from "X Town", which came from the X shape of the intersection between Lincoln Highway and Pottstown Pike.
"X Station" sounds like a pretty good bet, given Elon's obsession with X. I don't know if .station is a domain extension, but I am sure x.station will be snapped up immediately, if it is.
Later, I came up with a related idea that I think is even better. I didn't want to "double dip" until others get a chance to respond, but I'll post it this weekend if no one else does.
My guess: Horizons.
The first city on Mars could be called "Horizons'" symbolizing the expansion of humanity beyond Earth. Much like the intersection of roads forms the heart of towns like Exton, space exploration will bring together paths of innovation, uniting us in the pursuit of new frontiers.
My another guess could be Muskville, acknowledging Elon Musk's vision of human colonization of Mars.
If Musk has any say in the matter I'm guessing it's Doge.
