Our Space Future

Our Space Future
Research Cost: 30000
Summary
As our presence in space grows, we consider what changes a hybrid space-terrestrial society may bring.
Description
There can be no going backwards now; humanity has both a military and an industrial presence in space, not to mention ever-growing numbers of personnel for whom a life on Earth is an increasingly distant memory. It is time to double-down on this, to no longer think of ourselves as an Earth-bound species. This means establishing new forms of law, order, and communication to govern land, airspace, and space alike, which will create untold turbulence as our new, hybrid society grows accustomed to it. In turn, this requires specially-trained forces, to defend against threats both internal and external. We now have concrete proposals on how to achieve this - and, once it is realized, we can think in earnest about founding true, and increasingly sizable, off-Earth societies.

Quote
"Believe and accept that there are other souls out there - created by the divine, as we ourselves were. It is our mission, our duty, and our privilege to join with them - a meeting of minds across the stars." Superior Judith Howell, The Servants From a Xenobaptist propaganda leaflet, five months before the Night of Cleansing Flame
