This piece was written very much on a whim and crowd-edited by several unwitting friends of mine (thank you, Jen :). On a slow day I was drawing up a fictional calender system for Iapetus, when I began to ask myself: Who would live there? The marginalized peoples. The big nations have their eyes on the prime real estates of the solar system: Mars, Luna, Europa, Titan and so on. What about all of those other moons and all of the other people’s of Earth? Where will the Africans and and Mexicans and Uzbekhistanis go? Triton, Iapetus, Callisto? Or Janus, Prometheus, Miranda? Even further: To Pluto or Sedna?
I’ve tried to envision a world where the Bengalis were ”helped” to colonize Iapetus.
