Question 327

The red bar,which lies closest to the mast,symbolises X as it is today.The green and the blue symbolize stages in the possible terraforming of X,should humanity ever have the ability and will to undertake such a task.
Kim stanley robinson's popular trilogy Red X ,Green X and Blue X provides the concept for the flag.
This is not the official flag for X since there is no government or authority to adopt such a flag.
