When we start to live on mars, a "Planet of birth" section will be added in our passports

By the time we have people born on mars we will have had people born in space at all sorts of other places as its doubtful mars will be the first igven the gravity well and lack of resources.

I hope I get to meet the first human born on another planet. That sounds cool.

Not necessarily if countries in other planets have different names.

If we’re working on interplanetary travel, are we really worrying about passports? How many different places are we expecting?

*In the event we are officially visited by “aliens”, I doubt they will honor our little booklets.

At some point there will be a “first worlds war”

“go back to your country planet” - some racist

Not necessarily. The current “Place of birth” field already covers that need. If no planet is indicated, like right now, you’d assume Earth, and on Martian passports they’d indicate Mars.

Honestly that would be pretty cool. We’d also need some way to standardize timekeeping. How does time dilation factor in?

What if you’re born on a ship that never docks. That’s even possible right now if you permanently live on the space station
