Global Governance and off world Colonisation
Debate for today chaps:
We can't be any more than 60 years away from any series colonisation attempt of suitable terrestrial planets in the Solar System. With that in mind is there going to be a time when the nations of Earth finally become a singular entity, politically and financially (United Space organisations etc) and if you think so when do you envisage that happening? |
I think we are definitely heading in that direction and it will more than likely begin with a global currency, I have no idea when it will happen though.
|
No, no, no, no, and no.

My next debate topic will actually be about human nature and why some people can be so callous and cruel. |
If there was any extraterrestrial threat then yes I think there would be some collaboration, until then no.

Also with a combined space program a larger pool of resources will be available for bolder projects. Sooner or later it won't be what's best for each country, it will be what's best for humanity. |
Nah there's too much cultural/religious/historical/economic/national/etc. variation across the world for everyone to ever be united under one government, unless it was more really of a symbolic thing and all the countries just governed themselves still anyway but even then I don't think people would want that
If it did happen it's hundreds of years away in a Futurama type world |

However, I think in 200 years time the following will be the case; 1) Religion will be in major remission 2) People will be so integrated that nationalities will become nothing more than a term of identity. 3) the appetite for finding resources outside of our planet couple with the depletion of our own will be too much for super corporations to ignore. |
But MTVN
a Attack from another Galaxy could happen tonight. for example You would get no warning As robots or creatures would arrive in a split second. |

And there's also more countries being created now not less, Kosovo and South Sudan are a couple of recent ones I can think of, and there's still lots of nationalist groups still trying to break away and create independent nations |

More countries might be feasible now but in the future it won't be. All these little countries will have next to no say in the advancement of humanity and with the price we have to pay to traverse the stars no country will be able to foot the bill. Scotland will probably get independence in the referendum, but it will most likely attempt to become a member state of the European Union. |
Scotland WON'T get independence, not even the Scots themselves can agree on that!

Although colonising different planets would completely change the way people see things I suppose, but I don't think anything that major or radical will happen for at least 500 years |
Such optimism! If anything, most of the nation's who were interested in space exploration are pulling BACK on funding. I very much doubt we'll have seen a successful manned mission to Mars (maybe to orbit, but not a landing with someone setting foot) in the next 60 years, much less an offworld colonization. We'll probably destroy ourselves before that happens.
