Re: The Space Commonwealth is Back

So we declare the value of a Space Nation State to be the cost of Mars Colonization (20 billion-billion dollars). We spend a hundred years dumping coal into the Mars Atmosphere from orbit until its at least good enough to grow sugarcane and swampy jungle (considering there are not going to be fossil fuels). Then another hundred years sending ten million colonists one way with their own hab landers and a year of food - giving them a year to grow their own (and chop their own firewood).

But to build it Oil is going to have to be secured as exclusive property of the Space Commonwealth for two hundred years. That means Paying a price beyond anything else.
OIL is worth 200 dollars per gallon.
It is unacceptable to sell a resource that builds other things for anything less.

Re: The Space Commonwealth is Back

an old thread, imperial era and a rule from Royals and perhaps betrayal Petro Canada and Petro Aus, gets cast out cheaply sold off, Pharmaceutical research and science investments a garage sale, stocks following similar paths, the lemonade stand sold off, Natural resources again discount sellers

A very similar structure. The issue of Monarchy and Commonwealth, the examples of Australia and Canada

80% population concentrations squeezed into small areas
