Crucial mistake in your comment about distance deciding which part would Earth maintain its hold on. In history, countries retained control over territories that took months to get a simple message to. They kept them for centuries, and didn't lose them because there was poor communication. Yes, being far away is a problem - just like it was 2000 years ago to send a simple message from one corner of a relatively small kingdom to another - yet we still had empires that lasted for centuries, some even going over 1000 years in continuity. Mars being 20 or so minutes away means that we will not have a real-time conversation with anyone there - true. But why would we have to? 200 years ago, letters that traveled for months were the only form of conversation over distance and it did not cause problems. Is it better if it is instant? Yes. Would we have territories breaking off because it is not instant? No.

I agree that distance/travel time is not as much of an issue, but you know what is? Actually getting there. It takes so many more resources to get to space than to cross an ocean, even in history. Rockets are expensive, one use vehicles (currently) and even with new innovations like skyhooks, tethers, and even space elevators (the last of which may never be practical), it will still be incredibly difficult to transport things to other planets. What does this mean? It means that once other planets are self-sufficient (a reality that may take sometime), there’s no good way for other planets to exercise their influence effectively. Sure they may remain a de-jure part of their parent countries. But new colonies will have significant autonomy by nature, unless space travel can be made significantly cheaper, a prospect that currently doesn’t seem feasible.

Reusable rockets is the game changer here, that lowers the cost of launching things into space by orders of magnitude. But it's not like we actually stagnated in space exploration in the past half century, the feats just weren't as headline worthy. The main thing that happened is that NASA didn't get a lot of funding, so we had to wait till space exploration became cheap enough and profitable for companies. SLS, Falcon 9 and even the Space shuttle are/were *much* more efficient than the Saturn V used in the 60's and 70's. And don't forget that we've had a permanent human presence in space since the 90's, the International space station. We've also landed two car-sized rovers on mars and sent probes to the outer solar system. And that's with a fraction of the funding NASA had during the space race.

Helium 3 reaction is not even that energetic compared to reactions of D and T, which are orders of magnitude more abundant than helium 3. Plus, helium 3 can be made, and is made, by byproduct of certain decays as well as actually a "waste" product of the first two generations of fusion fuel cycles. So there is no reason for you to make an entire helium 3 mining enterprise on the Moon. Anyone with a fusion reactor (the thing you'd want your helium 3) could actually outproduce anything that you could mine, for a fraction of a price.

I don't think that Europe needs to federalise to have a significant presence in space, the ESA need only act at the intermediary for the various nations of Europe. The ESA may control the transportation but bases could still easily be national but negotiate through the EU.

But, 2) There aren’t many high profile politicians left who actually want to completly dissolute the Union. Because it would be too difficult and politically costly to do something like that, while the Germans or Benluxers would never agree to it. It would take a war (and a looot of unrest) to dissolute it. And European nations are pretty much unable to lead wars nowdays.

I think colonized moons around the same planet will overwhelmingly choose to unite. For example, people living on all moons of Saturn (aside from Titan) will more or less have the same lifestyles and have a very fixed range in which there distances can vary. So I think this will make moons of the outer solar system divide at most by the planet level with each moon maybe given semi-autonomous status within a hypothetical Jupiter or Saturn nation.

while it's used darkly today as a word, the concept of colonization has actually helped 100 times more those indigenous populations many claim to have harmed. Yes there were atrocities committed but the technological benefits and the relative peace and unity (compared to past times in these regions) far outweigh them. And that goes to every single former colony. You can just see the birth rate improvements and calculate them over a period of a decade or two and you'll understand how in that small time frame more humans there have been saved by this than the total human lives that were taken during the colonization process of said area.

We remaking For All Mankind with this one 🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🔥

the space treaty is also absolutely completely unequivocally unenforceable. especially in regards to claiming sovereignty. if a company, for example, were to claim a section of mars and declare itself a sovereign nation, so long as this colony is self-sustainable, there would be nothing anyone could do about it. firstly, i'd like to respond to statements you've made regarding local governance on celestial bodies. You begin your statements by bringing up concerns regarding widespread human rights violations unprecedented, only then to go on brief tirade about democracy forming within early mars colonies. This normally would be a nothingburger, but your tone seems optimistic and inspired by this idea. You dont seem to realize that democracy, pure democracy, is a tyrannical system in and of itself. Sure, it ensures that the majority of people are content with the outcomes of their election, but as history has shown us, the majority is not always correct. All democracy is, is codified mob rule. Instead of having to worry about a single tyrant, a democracy ensures that the oppressed class, (by merit of the very system's core ideals) the minority, has to worry about tyrants around every corner and in every building watching their every move. democracy is the worst kind of totalitarian government by my estimation, because it's system creates a grand delusion that the majority follows, contributes to, and perpetuates inter-generationally. it is a grand lie that "well everyone agrees with me so that must mean that i am correct" it stifles economic, social, political, and scientific progress and is completely incompatible with interplanetary governance. Secondly, i'd also like to briefly mention the existence of Quantum Entanglement, specifically, Quantumly Entangled Beta or Alpha Particles which could become measurable, and, with time, might serve as a primitive instantaneous communication devices through which colonies across vast(universal) distances might be immediately connected much like a second internet. this would allow large empires spanning entire galaxies to theoretically exist, although this doesn't eliminate the limiting factor which is transportation speed. Thirdly, in response to statements regarding warfare in space, a simple solution to the problems you present is a return to more primitive weaponry. Spears, swords, shields, harpoon guns, crossbows and such. not only would these be more effective in space, but they would also ensure that the destruction of the actual infrastructure of a colony itself is minimal. We might see a return of older styles of warfare, like pharynx formations, which comes with a return to old equipment such as armor. We may be in a future where militaries on other planets have members wearing reinforced armored space suits and armed with harpoon guns and swords instead of the warfare we are used to. Like you mentioned, the destruction of certain satellites could cripple communications and weather information for inhabitants of mars, and the use of autonomous robots may present opportunities for "chess-like" styles of warfare. in which you have two colonies throwing waves of robots at each other as a test as to who can build better robots, or build robots faster, or who has better strategies using the robots that they have resulting in zero human casualties but eventually leading to treaties being signed at the conclusion of the "wars."

Very astute points, I completely agree. I fully expect the Outer Space Treaty to be completely tossed out as a relic of the past and irrelevant. Denial of ownership of objects in space inherently precludes space mining, what will be the backbone of the economic push to space. Actual colonial development requires people moving to space for some economic advantage. First it'll be the miners, then the services for the miners, everything from refineries to entertainment. Cities will form around the transit nexuses, the ports will always be the first to get big. The Outer Space Treaty basically says "sure, you can pack up your whole life in a wagon, travel for months across empty plains and harsh desert, maybe even get stuck in the mountains and have to eat you cousin, but when you get to California, you can't keep any of the gold you find there!". That ain't gonna fly with anyone. It was cute and all in the age of Star Trek-style idealism about an egalitarian future, but that was always a fantasy, not reality. Money and the chance to strike it rich is what is going to fuel the vast majority of future colonies, both on the Moon and beyond. I can see some early battles between colonies utilizing primitive warfare methods to minimize damage to critical infrastructure, tho it would probably be just an early phase. With prolonged development, a surface battle on Mars for instance should have little collateral damage problems from using even tactical briefcase nukes. Most rocks in the Solar System are radiation blasted and airless, or in Mars' case radiation and sandstorm blasted with a smattering of an atmosphere. Cities and settlements are going to be buried under hundreds of meters of rock just as a standard. Most cities will be almost entirely self-contained, with the capability to seal and compartmentalize (more bunker complex than urban sprawl) or be giant caverns (like lava tubes on Mars) filled with breathable air and maybe some artificially generated sunlight overhead. Anyway you put it, power will be critical, moreso than water since your using power to filter your water and probably preform electrolysis on it (or leeching the rocks) for oxygen. Special forces and elite operators infiltrating critical positions within a settlement would be all you'd need. No point in marching thro the streets of the residential sectors with a robot army when your strike teams just need to capture the power generation facilities to force the entire city to capitulate. This could lead to some interesting defensive tactics, with powerplants being fortified castles in the middle of the city rather than how we picture them now.

A thought I want to be bring up: a full communication array set up on the moon could both keep the moon somewhat connected to Mars, and help cut down delay between Earth and Mars

This video was awesome!

loving the stellaris bgm

Seriously now, I tend to agree with the posters view, what scares me is when eventually the ban on WMDs is ignored, there isn't the same ecological fallout of nukes in space and then there kinetic weaponry and this scares me...

Nice video, But I have a couple questions. 1) I doubt we could discover faster than light travel when we colonize our solar system, but what if we found something while we're colonizing other star systems that may lead to that grand discovery? 2) What would you think would happen if we discover alien life?

We have some stuff for faster-than-light travel, so there u have it, its possible when they are done with mars they will head to Venus and ceres and maybe mars moons, or Pluto, charon, hydra, and the other 3 moons of Pluto. What will happen if we encounter aliens is that they will most likely be peaceful and understand because they have encountered us or another alien civilization or they will freak out and try to attack us. Its likely we can bring guns fit for firing cobalt 60.

Incredible Video!
