So not only does putin get a big fat L, but the EU continues to grow! I believe from the EU and NATO partnerships, we will someday see 1 global, unifying government that will formalize conflict resolution, leading to a lasting and sustained peace on Earth. And what does global peace mean? It means a massive increase in standard of living for all, as well as expansion into SPACE! When we can unify as one people, only then can we truly embark on the journey Star Trek promised us.
I just wonder what our flag will look like.
But staying in the present, way to go Moldova. As a terrified American, it does me good to see favorable election results.
Exploring space should be a uniting purpose of humanity, but colonizing space, as humans live now, is just wildly, hilariously impractical. It would be orders of magnitude cheaper and easier to live at the bottom of the ocean, or under the antarctic ice sheet. And this is speaking as someone really into exotic rocketry and transcendental sci-fi.
As well as “farther future” but grounded Sci-Fi like Orion’s Arm, where humanity doesn’t really resemble its current form. And play KSP! The more you read and see, the more you realize “wow, sending humans through space is hard, and living there kinda doesn’t make sense right now.”
I mean, I still think that having an operational moon-based spaceport is something we could see in our lifetime.
And as with all things concerning global affairs, it takes time and consistent pressure to overcome the lizard-brain us-vs-them mindsets that is inherent to our human political sphere. We’ve already grown to the point that we could take care of everyone on the planet, shuffling off the shackles of a scarcity-based economy which so severely hindered global human advancement in the past. I can only imagine what the combined efforts of the American, European, and Chinese economies/governments could accomplish if they put aside their differences, and embraced a true lasting partnership.
Also the website you gave is so incredibly interesting, I need to look at it more before I can appropriately sing its praises
I still think that having an operational moon-based spaceport
Depends what it’s used for, but yeah. But I think the human habitation would be extremely minimal, and it would be more of a utilitarian “midpoint” for deep-space missions and a research site rather than a place of extensive human habitation.
It’s a fictional universe in a wiki format (with some short stories), but based on hard science, and (IMO) a much more realistic idealized depiction of what future humanity could look like.
Woohoo!

Two things:
That was kinda the dream after WWII, no?

Hopefully our election across the pond will go against the fascists as well. 🤞
