- In this video I combine my two favorite topics, alternate history and space. I delve into how the future of geopolitics may look, and how we in a speculative future may colonize our solar system.

You should make a series about an alternate future of space colonization, it would be pretty neat
Like interstellar human civilization.
definitly
Agreed
Please do
Yes
I like this scenario. Not unreasonable but also optimistic
Very optimistic. Nothing wrong with that tho
@@IC3XR agreed
Нет! Ужасно, как создатель думает, что Россия станет слабой, ее пропаганда со стороны европейцев, как обычно. 😢😠

It lacks the takeover of artificial superintelligence in the near future, but humans are more fun.
THE UNAGING solution? That's super sci-fy.
A few small gripes.
2200's Mars would be a "wet desert" in that there is enough water to run a small hydrosystem but no plants worth mentioning, and the water is toxic.
Venus underutilized, cloud seeded algae farms would serve nicely to transfer nitrogen to Mars.
Gotta agree, Venus is underappreciated especially as a 2nd home as it is technically a better option compared to mass. It's gravity is higher, it already has large amounts of nitrogen and CO2 which can be used for terraforming Venus and Mars at the same time.
@@ganieraorison6192 Algae that floats in the nitrogen rich clouds and is harvested with trolley ships and compressed for nitrate rich nutrient bars and fed to martians and have them poop out good fertilizer is key to a interplanetary economy.
@@akigreus9424Interesting…
Finally some optimism in this dark age
Everywhere I go I see pessimistic predictions about the end of civilization but u really made my day! Here's to the future!
by the 2200s much of the solar system will be colonized by humans from the planet earth
Yeah “realism” is way too negative. We need some optimism or we are lost.
@@rustyshackleford234 realism is just people pretending that their depression actually have a point but in reality they're just pessimistic and depressed
@@magicalmagicmagician5223Realism and Idealism is equally important in human society.
@@Robweisenhowser because they contradict each other
As someone who’s also been obsessing over our future in space for the past few years, I like this, we seem to have converged on a lot of ideas (I especially like the idea of exploring a semi-post-scarcity society). I’d be interested to see how you think the Moon and Mars will look into the 23rd century, as I’ve imagined them as having different colonial territories and/or slowly breaking off into their own nations
If I expand on this scenario at some point I may focus more on the various political entities throughout the solar system and how they're structured. As for what I actually think, I'm very uncertain, which is why I think this "alternate history" format works great, as I can just guess and make assumptions. In this scenario as of 2200 I image the political entities of the Moon are very closely tied to Earth. The United Nations has been restructured, veto rights are gone, and it actually has real power, functioning as a loose confederation akin to the European Union. The Lunar Council, now a unified federal republic, is a member of the United Nations just like the EU, China or North American Union.
The Lunar Council is their means of resolving local disputes, and how all Moon colonies are represented at the UN. But political entities overlap, with Earth nations retaining the rights to use infrastructure on the moon to some capacity, as its how they colonize the solar system without being tied down by expensive Earth launches. So I think it would be a mix. By 2200 I think almost all decisions would be made locally on the moon through some framework like a Lunar Council, as well as smaller subdivisions, while Earth nations would keep some sort of loose ties to their Lunar settlements in order to maintain acces to their space infrastructure.
I’d imagine it would be similar to European colonies in the Americas but without the natives and wouldn’t be looked back upon as horrific. Slowly these martians and lunar men will culturally become more and more different than the mother country that their colony is ruled by. Eventually they’ll secede and become solar system powers themselves. Heck, one might mirror the United States and become the most powerful and influential nation in the system.
As a native of the Moon Titan, we don’t need humans here. We are fine without them present out here.
You have oil tho? We comin
@@jagdawgii929 then come and take it Terran
FOR THE EMPEROR!!!!

@@jagdawgii929it’s actually just methane and ethane in some liquid lakes. Still would be hella useful for fuel nonetheless
You should turn this into a mapping series, with a video for every decade or so. I would love to see how each country grows and evolves.
Alternate Future history is awesome
I might not agree with some details (Mainly some of the population stuff’s far future projections) or certain geopolitical developments (Russia remaining a major world power, The NAU not being a greater USA) but overall this is a reasonable head-cannon for the future.
It's a speculative scenario thinking of the less sad things
It’s certain that Russia will at least remain a decently strong force. the separation into multiple states of what we call Russia now is highly unlikely, every time there has been an attempt of doing so it has come back to a similar level of power and form
@kenos911 there is a very good chance that Russia will have fewer than 100 million people by the end of the century. Current Russian power is merely a fading remnant of Soviet power.
@@kenos911 Always Weaker
Russia is not a world power. It just thinks it is.
I like how Indonesia is considered as a viable space colonial power but not Russia. It makes sense but it's pretty hilarious.
Like the population growth and economic growth as well as very suitable location for launching space ships makes a lot of sense
He explained it quite well in the video. There is a big chance of a power struggle if Putin dies. And like he said if there is in this case a big chance for China to try to influence the results and in this case Russia will become less relevant on it's own but will be part of the Chinese sphere of influence.
Russia: the Portugal of Space
@@k.umquat8604 Insult to Portugal
@@Terranallias18 I meant the Portuguese Empire, not modern day Portugal
Honestly You need a Part 2 on this, Events happening between 2300's to 2500's. and what possible new nations might occur
As Indonesian i love how you put Indonesia as top 5 world power out of nowhere and didn't bother to explain it unlike another 4 countryside
In context of space travel it should have been japan.
The scope of the video just grew and grew, the flickering effects and solar system map in particular, took a lot of work. So at some point I just decided to finish the video. I do regret not including it though, only would've taken a couple more hours.
As for the explanation, though, it's a country with a lot of potential. Southeast Asia broadly is growing rapidly. I wouldn't be surprised if a couple notable powers arise there in the coming century.
@@Smilemonster1912 japan won't be very relevant in the future, they have experience but they're losing power rapidly, paved the way for a booming countries like indonesia to replace them, at this point the future scenario of indonesia become one of major space powers in the future become very likely to happen.
@@_martian101 Vietnam is promising too. Maybe it’ll democratize and more countries would invest into it. It’s already an ally with the U.S., maybe they’ll pressure them out of communism?
@@rustyshackleford234 Many southeast Asian countries are promising, but Indonesia will be the one that joining 5 biggest economy list in the future, so Indonesia is more likely to have large scale space industry, just like 5 biggest economy countries today, plus Indonesia is a neutral country and have close relations to all space powers which greatly help them to build their own space industry, especially China that potentially will give Indonesia a significant amount of technological transfer
For the North America country, a better flag would be something along the lines of a horizontal tricolor of a red stripe on top, a blue stripe in the middle, and a green stripe on the bottom.
and three stars in the middle
if it is based on the EU model why not use a similar flag with different colors? White flag with red, blu and green stars
@@giovannibini6809that’s more viable but not a great looking flag. Considering the US would very likely dominate the union a flag incorporating the colors of all 3 with 3 stripes and stars representing the states (or whatever they become) of each nation is most likely, as each nation does have a federal government and it’s likely that this union would also follow an American style republic
That would look awful. But the flag he has makes it look like a Mexican country which is extremely wrong
Starship, Stellaris music and just space in general! This is an awesome video!
Pretty much the expanse lmao. I can visualize the scenario but I also feel other externalities will come into play that either heavily hinder the timeline of space colonization or possibly accelerate it.
I new exactly when that MCRN flag was used
He specifically said no OPA type BS will form.
Curing of anit aging would be nice
Not immortal but able to still live young and be able to work and enjoy life and not be force to retire be nice.
Or at least to slow the degradation of our genes with age
entropy forbids immortality but it seems an end of aging, or at least indefinite lifespans is very plausible this century.
Definitely many countries you overestimate or underestimate, and the predictions overall are iffy at best.
Though it is cool to see this kind of content.
which countries did he overestimate?
I think he may have overestimated China and Russia. Though with the anti-aging stuff solves their largest problem, population collapse. But who knows if we’d actually invent that. He may have just used it to keep Russia and China in the story which I’m all for. The U.S. needs some enemies to compete against to actually achieve stuff nowadays lmao
@@rustyshackleford234 US does have a penchant for inventing enemies when it runs out of them. So I wouldn't be too worried about that.
@@death_parade we have to or else we’ll start hating each other lmao
@@rustyshackleford234 anti-aging is common futurism trope, but I wouldn't count on that just yet. Maybe I will live to see that, maybe it won't work for my generation, maybe there are other restrictions, maybe it won't come for several more centuries, maybe Alien AI invades... lot of unknowns.
I wish this was longer, amazing vid!!
DAMN, what a good video man! Love all of it, mainly the asthethics looks sooo coool man, nice work!
You just perfectly combined my two favorite subject matters! Bravo, you have definately earnt my sub for as much as that is worth lmao.
I feel like the US uniting with Mexico is always done in scifi scenarios. I think a LatAm union that incorporates Mexico is more realistic. Maybe there would be a conflict over trade between the US and LatAm when Mexico joins them. I think a cultural union of the anglo states (US, UK, Canada, Australia, and NZ) makes more sense for the US too
A union of the Hispanic world or the Iberian-speaking countries is more realistic than Latin America, In Spanish-speaking countries a movement is starting that could be translated as "Hispanism" Which can be very strong if it continues to expand, thanks to the internet this ideology could easily enter politics, It is literally creating a Spanish empire 2.0, but in phases that would last decades, Milei won the presidency due to the corruption of the corrupt Argentine governments and his popularity on the internet, Hispanism, being a decentralized ideology, So it can be adapted to communism, protectionism, ancap, etc.
I disagree. You’re thinking culturally and not economically, politically, geographically, diplomatically, etc etc. Mexico and the US are already melding culturally. The “immigrant crisis” isn’t being overblown, most states along the border have a substantial Mexican population, and the same will happen as he said in the video in reverse to Mexico as they stabilize. There’s also the issue of LatAms instability and Americas already strong position, if Mexico had to choose today they’d choose the US and it isn’t odd for them to do the same in future. Maybe a LATNAU would form between Mexico, the Central Americans and the Caribbean states that may then join a NAU, but I think the NAU is inevitable in some form, especially as cultural divides weaken
@oldylad you make a fair, if uncomfortable point. I agree that the current immigration crisis could completely change the cultural fabric of the US, if it hasn't started already. However, with the rise of strict anti immigration politicians and rhetoric, it's not impossible to think that the trend could be halted or even reversed with the original cultural ties being restored. Birth rates are also collapsing throughout Latin America and the Hispanic population in America. While it still might be more realistic for a north american union, I was perhaps yearning for something different. An alternate future where cultural norms and values don't decline.
This is genius. Please make a series on this!
This is essentially The Expanse lore
But without the United planet trope.
United trope is just lazy
And it all changed when Humanity activated the Charon relay.
Mass Effect reference
love the quality of your content
I'd love to see a similar scenario about the future but in a world where nuclear apocalypse happens and civilization survives in bunkers
Very good video would love to see more content related to these parameters possibly exploring the individual history of each colony
This reminds me a lot of The Expanse, which I think is the most accurate depiction of what our future could look like. Great job!
I'm writing a sci-fi universe called "Ikanis Universe" with a friend and I really liked the way you treated this alternate future. Right now I am in the process of researching futurology in numerous places, in addition to reading books on the subject.
Also my search is on the internet, looking for pages on this topic, and watching videos like these as a way to base myself on the data given here to create the future of the science fiction universe that my friend and I are creating, it seems. As for the idea presented here, I have a very similar vision about the future of today in 200 years.
I have seen the previous parts of this video and they are very good, I rely on a part of it for my science fiction universe as well as other sources where I look for guidance and inspiration for it.
Thank you very much and good video :D
I am also writing a book with the same topic. Does the Ikanis Universe depict a realistic approach of mankind in the future?
@@tom_skip3523
My friend and I who are working on the project try to be as realistic as possible.
Although in reality this universe is utopian science fiction in some aspects, like Star Trek, not in all but in some, such as showing that humanity and the Earth evolved to be a better civilization in the centuries to come. But it's also about dystopian and dark themes.
There are several things that I could consider realistic to the point of being hard science fiction, such as the space battles that we make realistic. While in other things there are aspects of this that could be considered speculative and fantastic, because there are quite a few exotic concepts like parallel universes and alternative timelines, or beings of great cosmic powers.
The Ikanis Universe is divided into three parallel realities called Nuclei: N1, N1.1 and N2, the main realities, although there are 7 in total, and other multiverses, within a Multiverse called "The Registry" by a brane hypercomputer created by a type six civilization that records numerous past, present and even future events from across the multiverse.
By the way, the name of the universe "Ikanis" comes from the name of the protagonist, "Ikanis Calinner", a human-like alien woman, artificially created in a laboratory as a project of an alien species also human-like, called the Sanssahar.
If you are interested in knowing more about this universe, keep contacting me, thank you. And I have a blog, on the blogger platform where we publish the stories of this universe and others of our authorship, you can find the link in the links on my TH-cam channel.
By the way, my native language is not English, it is Spanish, the blog is in Spanish, but right now I am trying to translate our stories into English so that more people can read them. I'm also learning English.
By the way, now I ask, what is your universe about? Greetings.
@@alcyoncalinner2005 That sounds great! Congratulations on getting this far already. I love sci fi utopias and dystopias. Keep up the good work sounds very interesting.
Am German btw, nice to meet you :)
About my story. I'm planning a sci fi story in several parts. At the time of the prequel we are in the 23rd century. Humanity, which has evolved more and more into a united species and has already colonized many planets and moons in the solar system with a lot of trade between the colonies and Earth. A dyson sphere is currently being built, but it is far from finished.
In any case, humanity is starting a project to spread humanity throughout the galaxy. :)
So much for the backstory, don't want to give too much away. The real story is about a girl born in a colony as part of the project.
There is a really dystopian ending, at least for the 1st part. So much for that :D
I'm currently doing a lot of research and philosophizing. Long time project.
@@tom_skip3523
Thank you very much, really what motivates us the most is seeing that other people like what we write. I'm from Mexico, great pleasure too.
Your story is interesting, it seems that humanity reached a class II civilization quite quickly by already having a Dyson sphere under construction around the Sun. It seems that humanity is in a golden age. Something I wonder about is that there are other alien species, in addition to this galactic colonization project.
I understand, I don't want to reveal too much of my backstory either. And you already have a character, that girl born in space. I would love to read about the universe. Right now the Ikanis Universe of me and my friend have started writing the first book, we plan to send it to a publisher, and we are also trying to find a way to copyright our writings since it is something very important.
In short, these types of projects require a lot of patience, research and philosophizing as you indicate.
Greetings :D
@@alcyoncalinner2005 Exactly :) Have a good day and weeks and months :D

That was a fun & interesting watch, well done 👍
Gave me goosebumps and hope for future. Nice video

Definitely a truly quality content.
I liked this and found that the ideas you presented are the same ideas that I have when I think into the future of our civilization and space colonization
Stelaris music on the background is just on point.
I really love this series
Hey, what if Earth becomes just one big country?.
Not gonna happen. Ever. Nope. Never. We Indians won't allow it. We've had enough of globalists killing our culture.
That is communism end goal, fyi. Yet it is seen as evil.
This is super entertaining!
It was an amazing, difficult but realistic scenario, I really love it, it's even perfect for a book. But I have one tiny question, is the anti-aging treatment you mention based on the one explained in the Red Mars book saga?
Thanks! It's actually just based on real world efforts which I find interesting, and imagine could lead to an eventual complete curing of ageing. From what I can gather scientists have successfully not just prevented, but also reversed ageing in mice through gene therapy. So I don't think it's that big a leap to say we may do the same in humans this century. Perhaps first in our pets, so we can have them with us for longer. Then the ultra wealthy will have acces to it, and then eventually the general population.
In this scenario specifically I imagine wealthy ageing societies like Europe, Japan, China and North America offer the treatment either freely or cheaply through government subsidies to their populations, in order to avoid the worst affects of collapsing birth rates. But in poorer countries it would probably be more difficult to get acces to, some countries might even restrict the acces to anti ageing medication because their populations are growing too much.
@@Neatlingone of the only things I done really agree with is the anti aging medication, I think that's a bit too far fetched for the next 100-200 years. It is technically possible though.
@@NeatlingAre you sure you've seen studies where they've managed to prevent aging in a mouse? I've definitely seen the studies about reversing age, they are fascinating and 100% legit but haven't heard of anyone PREVENTING aging in mice.
@@alexander-5848The biggest hurdle right now in Aging science is the astronomical amount of data needed to predict protein folding and the mechanisms involved in the process of aging. Our current systems are incapable of managing this and we're still collecting the neccesary data but AI will 100% become advanced enough in as little as a decade of time.
After that, it's basically just collecting data and letting the AI do its thing with enough compute. The AI will predict new, as of yet unknown proteins which will result in a LOT of new medications and let us better understand how proteins behave in our bodies.
Preventing aging altogether is, I agree here, at least a century away but with AI spearheading the number crunching which we desperately need, we'll extend our lifetimes by decades if not a century. That means that we'll keep extending our lives as long as it's needed for proper gene editing to be perfected and let us finally cure aging.
This is already starting, really. Over the last few years, thousands(if I remember correctly) of new biomed companies have been opening up with their mission being curing aging or at least extending life. As of yet, it's only really billionaires funding these in hopes of extending their lives but it should start picking up steam once research gets going.
Loved this
Really liked this scenario. You are one of the only creators I know who competently uses AI generated images, both fittingly and tastefully. This in combination with your beautiful maps which are a combinations of realistic and yet beautiful borders make for some of the best contents on the site.
TL;DR: Great vid, dawg. Hello from Sweden.
i love it when you do videos like this!
To say that no interstellar missions have been attempted by the 2200s is a gross underestimation of the future.
They might have been attempted, but would be hardly relevant to this scneario, would they?
We may have means to maybe send a probe to Alpha Centauri (with big price tag), but until fusion drive works as advertised I wouldn't bet on anything bigger going there. A colony needs to have 2000 people at the very least minimum, unless we send an AI ship and androids act as parents for the vat babies (artificial womb, 3D bio-printer). Even that wouldn't change the politics, besides having a colony somewhere out there.
it took 50+ years just to go back to the moon
@@PaulZyCZthe Alcubierre drive and fusion power aren’t as far off as you seem to believe. Recently a fusion research lab achieved fusion at around 1/3 gross power gain, only problem is the power waste to get there. The Alcubierre drive also has seen some development with the power required dropping substantially to the point that a. Fusion reactor is all that’s needed to utilize it theoretically, no testing has occurred yet. Quantum computing is seeing a lot of progress as well to guide and control a faster than light ship. It’s all happening, it may take 50 years but it will happen
@@giovannibini6809because the moon is a big rock that we’ve already been to. We also have rovers going back there to study whatever we need. The only reason to go back would be to mine or colonize it, and we haven’t had the tech for that until recently
Had been fun if you made scenario like this video, but with the orion-drive as a foundation to faster (mayby interstellar) space travel.
Amazing video btw ; )
Edit, spelling
Excellent work! Congratulations 👏 👏👏👏👏👏👏 this is a pretty neat and well researched video. I've shared it a lot.
Really nice and creative scenario 👍
This was pretty cool.

Cool video.
Consider doing an alternate future on what if the "Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (the AMOC)" collapsed. Like in the Day After Tomorrow movie but realistic and gradual.
These future solar system colonization thoughts are so much fun to listen to. Thank you for this. I wonder if we'll manage to do something comparable.
God be with you out there everybody. ✝️ :)
Nice job explaining Change Velocity (Delta V)
would love to see you do a video on speculative WW3. I can’t imagine it’ll be as optimistic as this one tho😭
keep this topic going
I feel like a lot of this will happen on a timeline quicker than we would think.
Why? Go into more detail please
I agree. Why? Because of singularity. Need a better why? Whatever religion was going on about.
Private space companies in the future will play a important role in space expansion. While space agencies lead the way in space exploration, they can be hampered by bureaucracy and political setback. I feel like private space companies have an advantage with profit motive incentives like orbital launches from SpaceX and alike. One day, private space companies will send interplanetary payloads to other planets Like SpaceX is attempting to do with Mars and other companies like Rocket lab are planning to send a payload to Venus to study Venus's atmosphere with their own privately built rockets.
@@digitaldud3664 Because exponential growth is what we are undergoing right now and we humans are the best when it comes to underestimating/not understanding the nature of exponential growth.
@@icarus387 Indeed, the nature of space exploration in the future will shift from government space agency centric to private merchant centric combined with governments shifting focus to space security through space forces, rather than doing the space missions themselves.
The moment Europe Unification is brought up, especially including Britain, Scandinavia or the Balkans, your alternate history scenario is immediately irrelevant lol
Who can forget the Yugoslav-Danish unification of 2100?
8:42 the USA would still hold most of the power and domination of the union. Canada won’t be able to catch up because it’s mostly uninhabitable and it wouldn’t be able to grow faster than the USA.
I like the idea that each of the main planets is like its own region, and the colonies on their moons.

Bro hit us with the Gundam Newtype Theory
Seriously, I really like how you go in-depth with the future state of Earth politics; particularly with how the United States eventually subsumes the provinces of Canada and the states of Mexico (Granted, I do think Greenland would eventually become another state in the union given how much it resents the Netherlands for not paying attention to its needs and it'd probably be taken care of by the US due to vested interests in the Arctic).
I think that with the onset of anti-aging medicines and the rise of personalized medicines (thanks to the protein folding problem being solved by AI) and CRISPR, it's not too far off to suggest that personal gene-editing of the human race by choice is out of the picture. Certain attributes to make selected individuals be more suited for long voyage space missions around the solar system and even beyond into interstellar exploration missions. In any case, I hope this becomes a series!
Sad to born in this time
Heck, the U.S. has offered to buy Greenland from Denmark recently but the Danes refused. Maybe someday it’ll be ours…
@@rustyshackleford234 Well, given the proximity to the US and that Greenland has been looking to be independent from Denmark for a while because they've felt neglected makes it seem like they're looking for a new country to act on its behalf and provide resources for them. Greenland's next parliamentary election is coming next year so I think it's a fair shot to assume that they'll try to vote for independence by then.
@@vessel4475 Do you really know anything about local Greenlandic politics? They are very much against becoming a part of the US, they want more autonomy from Denmark yes (not the Netherlands, as you first said in your comment), but they also do know they do not have a large enough population to serve themselves with their current local economy, security and infrastructure and so would much rather continue being part of Denmark.
You sound clueless
@@mommoffa they are going to vote out of being part of Denmark because of how little Denmark is taking a part in their nation’s affairs, and both Canada and the US are much closer to provide support from them than Denmark would.

God made humans so our glorious species would conquer the stars
Good video, but this is only assuming the world doesn't get crazier than it currently is and that the status quo is more or less maintained. Could you do a video where the current earth crisis runs its course and shakes up the world order and dedollarization and all that, and then space travel takes off.
Hi Neatling! I don't know if you will notice my comment, but some time ago I came across an article about the fact that the Anglo-Saxons had a colony in the Crimea which was called New England, they founded it supposedly after the Norman conquest of England in 1066, there are some sources out there that confirm this but there is no exact certainty. I would like to ask you, will there be a video with an alternative history at your place as if this would actually happen? I am curious about your opinion, greetings!
MAKE A PART 2
I like these videos
I enjoyed this very much! Tell us more on this space lore like what new sciences and technologies would be invented, breakthroughs on them and integration of AI/robots in all this. Also what new events would happen in the universe (info on black holes, nebulae. maybe death of a star etc)? I believe humans in some planets close to Earth's atmosphere like Titan and Europa would be genetically modified to have no problem living without special suits.
Ok so this was pretty neat but what about going beyond our home system? Would be intersting to see how a civilization tries to keep together when even the speed of light is too slow to reasonably communicate between the stars.
My main problem with this future is that anti aging wouldn’t stop the population problem. Even with a universal basic income people wouldn’t be happy. You have people pushed into dense urban environments which will ultimately lead to mass depression. Unless we also genetically engineer humans to be more independent and less reliant on community (which in and of itself would be unpredictable and cause it’s own problems) we will be dealing with mass suicide and the birth rate won’t fix. People aren’t going to be happy with a consistent standard of living from their 20s to their 200s. People not being able to raise families in urban environments will cause all sorts of turmoil in our genetics. I could easily see all of these states collapsing into anarchy. Even if the problems listed are somehow solved without work people would get so bored that they would either resign to substance abuse and other forms of hedonistic living or decide to start some sort of revolution.
Another important thing to note is purpose. A universal basic income would quickly lead to crippling depression in and of itself. Humans need a purpose just as much as we need community.
@@ryujin9568 exactly if you look at the men who live the longest it’s the men who stay busy. There’s a reason your chance of death shoots up when you retire.

2:00 - Don't forget more advanced launching systems. Some cargos can "yeet" in space at 1000 G, such as using orbital cannon or Spinlaunch. There's ongoing research towards the orbital elevator. Using active support (think bouncing castle, but with molten iron instead of air) it's possible to build other launching megastructures. Orbital ring seems like the best 1960's science approach towards daily commute to LEO or even evacuating Earth if it comes to that (same colony ships as A.C.Clarke envisioned). It may turn out the Orbital ring is easier to build than Elevator, although politics may play against it.
There are also other conceptual ways to get in space, which often seem like UFO: For example there's induction-based engine NASA is already testing in satelites, but like atmospheric ion engines it may require serious advances in superconductor and material engineering. More down-to earth approach is using laser instead of the oxidizer. If I remember right, the proposal claimed instead 90 % reduction of the rocket mass. So a ship like Starship would deliver kilotons of cargo in one go or instead of 500 $/kg it would be 50 $/kg.
Want a dirt cheap electricity from space? See Mars Valineris up close at Christmas? Move to Epsilon Eridani, after spending few decades in cryo and never look back, once the new optimized fusion starliner launches? We are so close yet so far, but it's possible.
I think it would be interesting to consider the possibilities of genetic engineering in future scenarios like this. It could be possible to engineer humans to assume a ton of different forms and be physically fit for a multitude of different environments. Challenges like radiation and microgravity could be overcome by just tweaking ourselves to be able to tolerate them.
This makes wanna live more even if my life isn't that good just to see something like this happen would be great
You should make a video also about the far future, in which humanity is at the brink of exhausting resources in the solar system, like maybe in 10 thousand years or so
I’ve seen plans for habitats on Venus involving either big ass towers with habitats on the very top or airships that float in the atmosphere, just cuz there’s a point in the atmosphere of Venus where both pressure and temperature are the same as earth and sulfuric acid doesn’t reach up to. I feel like Venus would have populations like maybe not quite as high as mars but at least comparable
I find it unlikely that jobs will become scarce and this rate of technological progress will slow down sooner or later. With the mining of resources from outer space and automation being prevalent, it will increase the living standards greatly and wages will increase too, newer jobs can be made in various sectors that already exist or that will exist, the militaries of most countries can be expanded aswell.
Comparing Pluto to Antarctica in terms of how we only quasi-"settled" it is genius. Absolutely going to be true.
If I may ask where did you get the idea that we would develop technology that would reverse and prevent aging, and how long would the average human live in this future world.
Is that the Mars flag from The Expanse? 14:32
It is!
15:31 I love Saturns flag
Africa in the 2100s will make up 40% of humanity on earth. While I think that African countries still have a long way to go for economic development, I think some African countries will utilize space exploration to ease overpopulation and resource constraints by investing in asteroid mining. Space exploration by then should be more accessible to most countries and corporations as the cost per kg decreases overtime with developments into reusable rockets and other concepts such as a Space elevator, Sky hook, etc. Kenya already has a spaceport called the San Marco Platform that have historically been used by the Italian space program in the 1960s. I'm not so sure if the Kenyan government is planning on reviving the launch platform but it would be a good investment to develop a space launch center given Kenya's position along the earth's equator.
Plese make this into a more comprehensive series pleasse
Also Venus has the ability to be populated but probably only on airship colonies or a cloud city type scenario.
Top16 major powers as of 2100:
1. North America
2. China
3. Europe
4. India
5. Russia
6. Indonesia
7. East Africa
8. South Africa
9. Nigeria
10. Brazil
11. Japan
12. Oceania
13. Egypt
14. Ethiopia
15. Morocco
16. Korea
What software do you use to make your maps on earth?
I use Photoshop for all my maps
Well if you are tracking the space program of both China and the US the likelihood of China being faster than the US is higher as they already have a plausible time table with tangible steps already in place.
Tbh this future is awesome while being somewhat realistic
Some day after that, humans will start doing interstellar travel to planets that are like earth in craft that can go a significant portion of the speed of light
As a Shanghainese, I always dreamt of having a high tech Yangtze Magapolis of 200mil people and becoming the largest city in the world.
Excellent analysis and scenery building. In a previous prospective exercise I came to the same conclussions. Setting up space exploration infrastructure off Earth is essential in any expansion though the solar system. I hope the Chinese prove successful in their plans to establishing a lunar base by 2040. By the way, when it comes to forming a sustainable alternate habitat I would choose Europa instead of mars.
