Flag of Mars
The flag of Mars is a tricolour used to represent the planet Mars, its exploration, and its eventual transformation into a more Earth-like world.〔(Flag of Mars )〕 It is not official in a legal sense, as the Outer Space Treaty forbids the 'national appropriation' of celestial bodies by states, although it leaves open the possibility of claims by private entities such as companies or individuals.〔(Treaty on Principles Governing the Activities of States in the Exploration and Use of Outer Space, including the Moon and Other Celestial Bodies ) United Nations Office for Outer Space Affairs. Retrieved: 2011-05-26.〕
==Design==
The design of the flag was originally conceived by NASA planetary scientist Pascal Lee during the 1998 Haughton-Mars Project arctic expedition to Devon Island, Canada.〔 In addition to symbolizing liberty as a tricolour flag, the design evokes a vision of the "future history" of Mars in which the planet is transformed from red, to green, and then blue like the Earth. The red bar, which lies closest to the mast, symbolizes Mars as it is today. The green and blue symbolize stages in the possible terraforming of Mars, should humanity ever have the ability and will to undertake such a task; the ethics of terraforming remaining a matter of debate. Kim Stanley Robinson's popular science-fiction trilogy ''Red Mars'', ''Green Mars'', and ''Blue Mars'' also provided inspiration for the flag. In the Pantone Color Matching System (PCMS), the red is the "Red Clay" (18-1454), the green is the "Mint Green" (17-6333), and the blue is the "Imperial Blue" (19-4245).〔
