not required for the discussion. the discussion is about 'how might we hold together some sort of civilization at interplanetory distances?'

Assuming based upon current technology that it takes 6 months - 12 months to travel to mars. It would have to be a self governing colony with contact with earth - FTL communications might allow a limited empire but FTL would be the only thing that succeeds.

true, but still, the question is 'how might that work?'
and it need not be an empire. i said civilization.
