@futurebird @leadegroot @jannem @dx Space colonization has two plausible motives: economics and religion. Right now, the TESCREAL proponents are running on religion (an atheist reimplementation of Christianity, minus the god and jesus bits). The economics is 100% a bust so far. And exploration/science doesn't require colonization.

I can imagine an economic motivation for space colonies, but you're gonna hate it: structure it as a ponzi scheme grifting a location-based cryptocurrency.
