    Gotta respect a dude who goes to war with a full ping pong table under his dress

    Wars are always about limited resources. Religion, politics, beliefs, philosophies, laws, traditions all boils down to getting a bigger share of the pie for your side. Ironically, space exploration might make wars obsolete for a while. There’s so much real estate on other planets that you can simply bugger off if you don’t like your neighbours.

        We just don’t have the technology to massively change a planets ecosystem to be habitable and the amount of resources to build a life dome is just absurd.

          It’s nice to go outside sometimes but I don’t do it often. Worst bit would be some luxuries. Mostly food variety and ingredients.

          With the current resources we have I feel it would be prudent to stay underground rather than build mega structures on ground.

          We don’t need full on domes; pressurized buildings would be enough. But if we can populate other planets we can populate the unpopulated parts of Earth.

      There’s no other habitable planet in our system (requiring heavy life support is not sustainable), and even the closest inhabitable exoplanet is probably out of reach for at least the next millennium.

      You’d love a TV show called The Expanse.

      It’s based off a book series, so you might also wanna read those too.

      Basically: No, conflict doesn’t stop, it just changes. Less racism, more Earther vs Martian conflicts.

    This sure seems to be passing the buck from the people who started the wars to the poor people who fight them
