Do you think the future depends on you !
Total Bull Shit is the exact of all that you think.

I like the movie very much. BUT: Other planets that are within our range belong to our sun system. They have no atmosphere, which means that the cosmic radiation from the sun is not good for organic life such as bacteria. Below the surface it is more likely to find it. And all of our chemical elements here on earth were created with nuclear fusion in the sun. This is valid for the other planets in our sun system too.Be prepared for more pandemics if space travelers bring back new microbes. Ever see the movie "The Andromeda Strain"?
How should life there be structured?
What have we learned from our experience here that would shape a better life in the new world?
It's anyone's guess really, but I think I would see it playing out a bit differently. I could visualize NASA personnel setting up camp first near the best resources necessary to sustain life there (It would be a survival scenario), and subsequently laying government claim to those areas. Thereafter, I would hope some discretion would be used so as to minimize corporate greed, with bylaws and healthy societal structure. It may be a pipe dream, but hopefully some valuable lessons would serve to guide the new world.Should it, or would it?
Because let's be honest, the only people who are going to get there will be the very rich, or the very very smart. Throw in handful of grunts to do the menial stuff. Pretty much the way our society works today. The rich at the top, while the smart come up with ways to do things, and then those at the bottom doing the actual work.
The main impetus to colonize anywhere right now is for mining rare minerals. All that space stuff is going to have to pay for itself. Also, none of this makes sense with highly evolved robotics.
It's worth remembering, that though we're talking billions of years, our planet has a finite life. Of course, we'll destroy ourselves long before that ever happens.
Talent is spread equally across the globe. Talent will fix stuff. Everyone else will fx it up. Mars is a waste of time for a 1000 years, the Moon is a great Idea its huge, close, and can be made a jumping off point for the future..... The earth can be slowly spun back with husbandry. not some brain dead ideas. It's greed, wars, power struggles by despots and really bad people that's screwing wid us. There are as many really bad people alive today as ever in history. .....deliver kitties, help deliver puppies, or baby Piggies, wow a lil calf ... a colt .....see what its all about.Should it, or would it?

Regrettably, I missed that series. I must have been involved elsewhere, but I love a good science fiction, and this one seems interesting. Sometime, however, if the sci-fi is a bit too theatrical, I tend to grow weary of it, but that's just me. If I generally like the characters and the plot though, I'm willing to push that line quite some distance.Most of this was mapped out and explored in science fiction from the 1930s through the 1970s, leaning on much that came before all the way back to our earliest ancient literature. Beginning in the 1980s or so some of this began to be popularized in a derivative manner in subsequent literature, visual media, and gaming.
One of the more recent popularizations of established tropes from the 1940s to 1950s, taking early phases of solar system colonization as its backdrop, is "The Expanse" from 2015 forward for 6 seasons.
Mars had been colonized, working on large scale terraforming. It became the innovation hub until its war of independence which diverted manpower and resources. Earth was a despotic socialist dystopia in decline that anyone outside of the baroque elite with any drive left at all tried to escape. Those who did escape went to the Asteroid Belt which contained resource mining colonies, where life was hard but in most ways better than the teeming proletariat of Earth had it.
Though the story dumbs things down a lot much of it remains over the heads of mundanes. Thus the show can quickly lose them, leaving their heads spinning. This is probably why it remains relatively unknown to the masses despite being the best television produced in several decades.

It will likely be a bit less chaotic than that, as far as laying claim to territories, but once a colony gets to the point of declaring themselves an independent nation, then they would be able to institute their own laws and have their own constitution. At least that's the info in this article.Yes, but once commercial flights are available to get to other planets, there will be another gold rush, sadly.
Besides, there are active campaigns these days to discredit everything NASA does. Sad.

How will space law work when we begin to colonise planets?
Actually, according to this site, 188 countries have constitutions:the Constitution applies to only one country on Earth
This is on Amazon Prime and I've seen Netflix advertising it too though it may not be there any more. Others like Apple+ and YouTube have it but for extra costs.Regrettably, I missed that series.

I'm looking forward to seeing it. It sounds like my kinda series.This is on Amazon Prime and I've seen Netflix advertising it too though it may not be there any more. Others like Apple+ and YouTube have it but for extra costs.
The series is pretty down to Earth technology-wise. The main hand waving is a high efficiency fusion rocket engine but there are no magical warp drives, transporters, artificial gravity, ray guns, etc.
