Say in a couple years we get unbelievable technology for spave travel. Let's assume we're alone in the galaxy. Governments announce missions to populate other worlds.
How do you feel about it? Do you hop in?

I mean it's much harder to defend yourself against communism when you're materially separated from the imperial core by the void of space and the only retribution is delayed by 2 years because they need a good launch window in order to retaliate. Of course it's also easier to justify nuking a space colony given that it'll only kill the group of communist insurrectionists and no other civilization or lifeforms. Therefore I calculate that the first capitalists who live in space will have a base self-destruct button and/or personal nuke.
