What's on Your Mind

[Chase]

I wonder why you appear to imagine our species won’t take it’s war mongering instincts out into the stars..

I didn't say we won't. Hence why I said if we lived in space habitats, we could at least move them if another faction decided to get hostile. The fragility of a space habitat gives another level MAD (Mutually Assured Destruction), and if we spread out into the cosmos thin enough, it would prevent one single war from ending the entire species.
