Breezewood, PA, I believe.
Joke aside, it’s definitely Breezewood.
I’ve been passing through that location for the last 30+ years, and there are unmistakable signs in this picture. It’s a very old one though, as most of these businesses are no longer there.
Looks like Provo Utah to me, Roadhouse roadhouse out of frame on the left
Not current Mexico, pa after its conquered by mexico in 2073.
I'm currently reading A City on Mars, by that web cartoonist guy and his wife. So far they are strongly arguing that stages 1, 2, and 3 are not actually feasible and that we should wait until technology is there and jump straight to 4. Basically the only reason the ISS works is because it's next to earth, you need way more support around the crew (i.e. way more people) if you can only launch a rocket there in a launch window every two years, it takes 6 months to get there, and it's too far away to do live comms.
It's been quite good if you're into that stuff. It has a chapter on space sex, and I just read a section on how the NASA tampon thing wasn't really about how NASA engineers don't understand women, but then gives an example that shows they definitely don't but it's not because of the tampon thing.
They also specifically address the single rocket landing then add more rockets to make a city thing.
I want to subscribe to NASA not understanding women facts
Really good book.
Oh the irony of adding a watermark to that pic.
luckily this is not going to happen as america is not interested in colonization without at least some genocide.
3rd stage needs a tiny Dollar General.

You'd hope if we had an opportunity to start fresh we'd chill with the roads and put more public transport and walkable city design in
Lol. I live in a city where they deliberately tore all that put and replaced it with highways.
They would not allow any public transit.
Not that Elon would ever be brave enough to actually get on a rocket to Mars, but if he did, he'd control the air supply like in Total Recall.
That picture looks familiar
Good eye! It is a famous photo that has been used for critiquing America or capitalism.
McDonald's would be getting their logo there by panel 2.
By that time it'll probably be even worse in ways we can't imagine yet
Ohh, so that's why Mark Watney was growing all those potatoes.
Toxic perchlorates from Martian regolith add a certain Je ne sais quois to the smell of Asphalt, Tire particulates, and ozone.
Do you like camping in a submarine in a volcano of dust and radiation? Let's Go to the Colonies!
Oh...
Oh, no....
The logic is sound 🖖🏽
Damn, gas is cheaper on Mars than in California rn.
If I travel to Mars to save money on fuel, am I really saving money? 🤔 Might as well relocate.
It's time to cook
