Space - The New Front Here!
A quick thought, brought up by a quite "bored person":-
When Earthlings finally reach other inhabited planets, will we pillage the mineral resources, ship back the "beings" as slaves, send our prison convicts there to live, grow seriously rich on the proceeds?
Or will they come here, leaping out of their space ships, at the boundary, because they know that they will be rescued and brought home here?
I think I might write a book.
