Space colonization is a pretty common trope in scifi but if I am being honest I got somewhat reminded of colonialism circa 1492-present.

    That’s easily the least concerning imo. Promises of an extraplanetary colony to escape climate change is pretty much a distraction. Besides the process of even establishing an outpost on the moon would be a nightmare, let alone Mars or some other star system.

      I honk its the language itself that is bothersome rather than the reality, because colonizing space i so out of the realm of possibility right now but the way its talked about is telling to me. Its just a reflection of colonial mindset.
