LadyCrimson Posted December 31, 2005 Share Posted December 31, 2005 Like damn let me sleep will ya. When I want it, I'll give it to you. Hahaha!!!! I like that attitude. So (usually) true, too. “Things are as they are.

Azarkon Posted December 31, 2005 Share Posted December 31, 2005 The frenzied land grab of space exploration will lead to another age of manifest destiny followed by imperial exploitation, inevitably resulting in multiple devastating wars eventually leading to the establishment of a loosely held, corporate-controlled federation of planets. At least, that's what sci-fi novels tell me, and they're gospel! Seriously though, I can't imagine how space colonization would begin. I have a hard time imaginining space colonies of any real caliber any time soon - sure, countries will have some form of planet-based stations up there sooner or later, but they'll be more sources of scientific study and national pride than real colonies. In some sense, I don't think human beings as a species is ready for the final frontier. Our societies cannot handle the scale of resources and manpower that would be required for a large-scale colonization of any planet, and research in the area has been largely halted as a result of strategic disinterest (until recently, when China's space program has apparently served as a good motivator for the US and Japan into another space race). I think it'll be quite a while, barring major incidents and incentives, before we'll go from being short-sighted introverts to taking another solid shot at space. Perhaps it won't happen at all until we as a species decided to work cooperatively towards a single goal, directing the bulk of our nations' resources into a vast, momentous project. Anything less than that, and I fear that we're still very far technologically from being able to risk an endeavor such as space colonization with all the problems at home.

SteveThaiBinh Posted January 1, 2006 Share Posted January 1, 2006 Thank goodness there's no life on Mars. I can't begin to imagine all the ways we would screw it up if there were. Let private companies exploit space, so long as we can tax a percentage of their profits and use that to improve life for the poorest on Earth. I met an American once who had the idea that the moon belonged to them because they'd landed on it first. I wonder, does anyone know who has the authority to divide up space assets or to validate their ownership? "An electric puddle is not what I need right now."

Surreptishus Posted January 1, 2006 Share Posted January 1, 2006 nobody has the authority, which is why its finders keepers. Say the US did officially claim the Moon as theirs, who would be able to do anything about it? Even if another country or organisation had the armed forces, the will and space capability to fight them over the Moon the winner would set the terms and delineate property as they saw fit. Ultimately you'd still have one dominating owner of the moon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
random evil guy Posted January 1, 2006 Share Posted January 1, 2006 depends on what is 'discovered' i guess. could for example one lay claim to entire planets? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surreptishus Posted January 1, 2006 Share Posted January 1, 2006 I thought it was more a question of whether you should lay a claim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blank Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 Let's look at world history. What happened with the "new world"? we see claims made, territories staked, everyone wants what everyone else has and wars over it all. countries win and lose stakes, the places eventually become independant. i predict.... that our history will repeat itself.
