RE: The Future Is Space

Good to see you writing again, I haven't seen an article from you for a while. I am glad that you are back on this. On the topic of Space, I am just fresh of the finale of this space alternative universe 'For all mankind'. It explores a lore of what would happened if the space race never stop, the answer is... we would been in Titan (Saturn moon).
So what does it has to do with your article? well, as shown on that series, progress is usually met with rejection as it means render someone's market obsolete. This happened in that series with the advent of automation, and could easily happen on this new space race in a different shape. Whenever the backlash will come from outside, or inside, or both, is yet to be determined. But this is what most people usually pay no attention when forming theories.
