What would they be called?

If a human were born in a colony on Mars, then technically they would be a Martian. If someone were from the moon? A moonian or Luneian? The Greek word for moon is Fengari,so Fengarian? It sure sounds much better lol.

A member here messaged me and said how about Monan. Or lunatic because of Luna lol.

Hard to say
A family that was friends with my
parents were missionaries in
Africa,  and all their kids were born
there. But all these blm types
would say since they were white,
that they couldn't be african, even
though the same ones that say
that haven't had any blood kin
born there in several hundred years.

I'm sure given the atmosphere of
things in the 21st century that any
moon kids would come up with
their own "identity "
Seems to be the thing now

Unless the colony becomes self sufficient and independent of Earth based support, they would likely have the national identity of the nation that built and supports the colony.  I don't think it matters since it's not likely to ever happen. 

Neither the moon nor mars have a magnetosphere. There are theories on how to create one artificially but that's as unlikely to happen as colonies.  I think the best we can hope for is a science station on mars and maybe a mining station on the moon.

Probably not in our lifetimes. The moon maybe, but Mars is very iffy.
