Future of the World - Space Colonization and New Superpowers

In this video I combine my two favorite topics, alternate history and space. I delve into how the future of geopolitics may look, and how we in a speculative future may colonize our solar system.

    As someone who’s also been obsessing over our future in space for the past few years, I like this, we seem to have converged on a lot of ideas (I especially like the idea of exploring a semi-post-scarcity society). I’d be interested to see how you think the Moon and Mars will look into the 23rd century, as I’ve imagined them as having different colonial territories and/or slowly breaking off into their own nations

    If I expand on this scenario at some point I may focus more on the various political entities throughout the solar system and how they're structured. As for what I actually think, I'm very uncertain, which is why I think this "alternate history" format works great, as I can just guess and make assumptions. In this scenario as of 2200 I image the political entities of the Moon are very closely tied to Earth. The United Nations has been restructured, veto rights are gone, and it actually has real power, functioning as a loose confederation akin to the European Union. The Lunar Council, now a unified federal republic, is a member of the United Nations just like the EU, China or North American Union. The Lunar Council is their means of resolving local disputes, and how all Moon colonies are represented at the UN. But political entities overlap, with Earth nations retaining the rights to use infrastructure on the moon to some capacity, as its how they colonize the solar system without being tied down by expensive Earth launches. So I think it would be a mix. By 2200 I think almost all decisions would be made locally on the moon through some framework like a Lunar Council, as well as smaller subdivisions, while Earth nations would keep some sort of loose ties to their Lunar settlements in order to maintain acces to their space infrastructure.

    I’d imagine it would be similar to European colonies in the Americas but without the natives and wouldn’t be looked back upon as horrific. Slowly these martians and lunar men will culturally become more and more different than the mother country that their colony is ruled by. Eventually they’ll secede and become solar system powers themselves. Heck, one might mirror the United States and become the most powerful and influential nation in the system.

    ​@@tom_skip3523 My friend and I who are working on the project try to be as realistic as possible. Although in reality this universe is utopian science fiction in some aspects, like Star Trek, not in all but in some, such as showing that humanity and the Earth evolved to be a better civilization in the centuries to come. But it's also about dystopian and dark themes. There are several things that I could consider realistic to the point of being hard science fiction, such as the space battles that we make realistic. While in other things there are aspects of this that could be considered speculative and fantastic, because there are quite a few exotic concepts like parallel universes and alternative timelines, or beings of great cosmic powers. The Ikanis Universe is divided into three parallel realities called Nuclei: N1, N1.1 and N2, the main realities, although there are 7 in total, and other multiverses, within a Multiverse called "The Registry" by a brane hypercomputer created by a type six civilization that records numerous past, present and even future events from across the multiverse. By the way, the name of the universe "Ikanis" comes from the name of the protagonist, "Ikanis Calinner", a human-like alien woman, artificially created in a laboratory as a project of an alien species also human-like, called the Sanssahar. If you are interested in knowing more about this universe, keep contacting me, thank you. And I have a blog, on the blogger platform where we publish the stories of this universe and others of our authorship, you can find the link in the links on my KZread channel. By the way, my native language is not English, it is Spanish, the blog is in Spanish, but right now I am trying to translate our stories into English so that more people can read them.

A dyson sphere is currently being built, but it is far from finished. In any case, humanity is starting a project to spread humanity throughout the galaxy. :) So much for the backstory, don't want to give too much away.

    Thanks! It's actually just based on real world efforts which I find interesting, and imagine could lead to an eventual complete curing of ageing. From what I can gather scientists have successfully not just prevented, but also reversed ageing in mice through gene therapy. So I don't think it's that big a leap to say we may do the same in humans this century. Perhaps first in our pets, so we can have them with us for longer. Then the ultra wealthy will have acces to it, and then eventually the general population. In this scenario specifically I imagine wealthy ageing societies like Europe, Japan, China and North America offer the treatment either freely or cheaply through government subsidies to their populations, in order to avoid the worst affects of collapsing birth rates. But in poorer countries it would probably be more difficult to get acces to, some countries might even restrict the acces to anti ageing medication because their populations are growing too much.

    ​@@alexander-5848The biggest hurdle right now in Aging science is the astronomical amount of data needed to predict protein folding and the mechanisms involved in the process of aging. Our current systems are incapable of managing this and we're still collecting the neccesary data but AI will 100% become advanced enough in as little as a decade of time. After that, it's basically just collecting data and letting the AI do its thing with enough compute. The AI will predict new, as of yet unknown proteins which will result in a LOT of new medications and let us better understand how proteins behave in our bodies. Preventing aging altogether is, I agree here, at least a century away but with AI spearheading the number crunching which we desperately need, we'll extend our lifetimes by decades if not a century. That means that we'll keep extending our lives as long as it's needed for proper gene editing to be perfected and let us finally cure aging. This is already starting, really. Over the last few years, thousands(if I remember correctly) of new biomed companies have been opening up with their mission being curing aging or at least extending life. As of yet, it's only really billionaires funding these in hopes of extending their lives but it should start picking up steam once research gets going.

    Seriously, I really like how you go in-depth with the future state of Earth politics; particularly with how the United States eventually subsumes the provinces of Canada and the states of Mexico (Granted, I do think Greenland would eventually become another state in the union given how much it resents the Netherlands for not paying attention to its needs and it'd probably be taken care of by the US due to vested interests in the Arctic). I think that with the onset of anti-aging medicines and the rise of personalized medicines (thanks to the protein folding problem being solved by AI) and CRISPR, it's not too far off to suggest that personal gene-editing of the human race by choice is out of the picture. Certain attributes to make selected individuals be more suited for long voyage space missions around the solar system and even beyond into interstellar exploration missions. In any case, I hope this becomes a series!

    2:00 - Don't forget more advanced launching systems. Some cargos can "yeet" in space at 1000 G, such as using orbital cannon or Spinlaunch. There's ongoing research towards the orbital elevator. Using active support (think bouncing castle, but with molten iron instead of air) it's possible to build other launching megastructures. Orbital ring seems like the best 1960's science approach towards daily commute to LEO or even evacuating Earth if it comes to that (same colony ships as A.C.Clarke envisioned). It may turn out the Orbital ring is easier to build than Elevator, although politics may play against it. There are also other conceptual ways to get in space, which often seem like UFO: For example there's induction-based engine NASA is already testing in satelites, but like atmospheric ion engines it may require serious advances in superconductor and material engineering. More down-to earth approach is using laser instead of the oxidizer. If I remember right, the proposal claimed instead 90 % reduction of the rocket mass. So a ship like Starship would deliver kilotons of cargo in one go or instead of 500 $/kg it would be 50 $/kg. Want a dirt cheap electricity from space? See Mars Valineris up close at Christmas? Move to Epsilon Eridani, after spending few decades in cryo and never look back, once the new optimized fusion starliner launches? We are so close yet so far, but it's possible.

    Africa in the 2100s will make up 40% of humanity on earth. While I think that African countries still have a long way to go for economic development, I think some African countries will utilize space exploration to ease overpopulation and resource constraints by investing in asteroid mining. Space exploration by then should be more accessible to most countries and corporations as the cost per kg decreases overtime with developments into reusable rockets and other concepts such as a Space elevator, Sky hook, etc. Kenya already has a spaceport called the San Marco Platform that have historically been used by the Italian space program in the 1960s. I'm not so sure if the Kenyan government is planning on reviving the launch platform but it would be a good investment to develop a space launch center given Kenya's position along the earth's equator.

    Really Good! Though, I'd like to Point out (in my Opinion) a Flaw in your Final note: 1. Assuming Good Automation with AGI in the Future, as well as Semi-Equal Distribution of Resources, a kind of FALSC (Fully Automated Luxury Space Communism) Society would Develop. I'm also Assuming that Good Technology would allow us to Extract and Use the Resources of Any Patch of Space Rock Larger than a City Block. With AGI(and Potentially ASI) we could Relatively Rapidly Develop Advanced Technologies like Biological Immortality, Quick ISRU and small- Scale Self-Sufficiency, Cybernetic Augmentations, Digital Consciousness Uploading, Comfortable Space Habitats, ect... Such a Society would see Rapid Growth in Colonies for the Simple Reason that there are lots of Resources, we have the Technology to Efficiently Extract and use them and Everyone in the Colony has the Material interest to do so. Whilst Earth would still be a Paradise where we Evolved, many wouldn't need it anymore. Some (Digital Consciousnesses) would Probably Actually find it more Comfortable to Live inside some Icy Asteroid where they Could mine the "Ice" for Nuclear Fusion Energy and Run their Computers at much Lower and More Efficient Temperatures. If such is the Case, Places like the Moon and Ceres would become Megalopolises, Constructing O'Neill Cylinders and other Megastructures. Additionally, Utilizing Self- Replicating Robots, it would be Relatively Easy to Build a Dyson Swarm, giving Access to Virtually Limitless Energy and Destructive Potential (1). Furthermore, even if such a Megastructure is Hard or Impossible, Nuclear Fusion, with Deuterium or other Fuel mined from Space "Ice", Energy would also be Trivially Cheap, giving Access to Expanse-Style Propulsion. Now, given the Picture of a Virtual(ly) Utopian Space Civilization with Limitless Energy, Easy Ability to Self-Replicate and Everyone having the Material interest to mine Space, what do you think will happen? Will we stay Content with our reach and Stay Mostly Around Earth, or will we see Rapid Resource Extraction and Resource Utilization of the Bodys in our Solar System? I Personally think that the Latter Option is more Realistic. Space Colonies would have next to no Limit on their Expansion, while Civilization on Earth is Limited by Gravity, Surface Area and the Biosphere. Space Colonies could Upload themselves to Digital Utopias or Build O'Neill Cylinders with Earth-Like Conditions, whilst Earthbound Countries have to be Careful to not Disrupt the Ecosystem too much. Finally, Megastructures like Magnetically Levitating Orbital Rings (2), Launch Loops (3), Space Tethers (4) and Space Elevators (5) would make Travel from Earth to Space and Around the Solar System Fast and Dirt Cheap. In Summary, I believe that once we have Self-Sufficient Space Colonies, AGI and good Tech, things will move Relatively Quick. Orbital rings allowing Literal Trains into Space, a Lunar Megalopolis, O'Neill Cylinders at the L4 and L5 Lagrange Point, Rapidly Expanding Outer Solar System Colonies, Mind Uploading, ect... Our Future among the Stars will be Extremely Bright, Grand, Huge and Certainly Not Centered around Earth after more than 1000 Years or so.(6) Sources: (1):kzread.info/dash/bejne/ooRolqeJcrDIaKQ.html (2): en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orbital_ring (3): en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Launch_loop (4): en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_tether (5): en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_elevator (6) kzread.info/dash/bejne/iH2BuJh-aLLed5s.html (watch this Video to get a Sense of there I'm coming from)
