The Geopolitics Of Space Colonization (Narration Only)
A new Space Race has begun, and as governments and corporations begin seeking to develop space, the future political landscape will be impacted by asteroids, moons, and planets we settle and what industries and commerce drive that expansion. In this two-part collaboration with WhatIfAltHist we will explore those driving forces and motives for modern nations to expand themselves off Earth.
