    Can’t wait til we can start watching interplanetary wars play out in real time.

      Pretty sure it won’t be in real time with all the light delay.

      Can we have space settlement without the war and genocide? It’s not like killing Indians and robbing trains is a fundamental requirement.

        That depends on if space is colonized by homo sapiens, or by an evolved form of ants, who rise up millions of years after humans have gone extinct.

        The civilization that evolved from ants possibly could.

        Humans? Doubtful.

          You are giving ants way too much credit. Those fuckers are brutal war criminals, the lot of them. Humans are bad, but we’ve had nukes for almost 80 years without glassing ourselves, ants wouldn’t last a day

            No, because I’m assuming that one colony will wipe out the rest and earth will be ruled by the hereditary line of matriarchs of whatever the queen ant evolves into.

            They’ll probably enslave and brutalize all other species on the planet, but they’ll rule earth as a single unified colony, and space as an extension of that.

            They need to be harnessed into biological CPUs by hyper-advanced dog sized jumping spiders. It’s the only use for those murderous six legged maniacs.
