Reply to comment by bigmikemcbeth756 in I have a question about generational ships. by bigmikemcbeth756

If that’s is true then there’s no value for governments or companies to try to build them in the first place because they would be literally throwing money into space.

Even Christopher Columbus had to return to his sponsor Spain. But this is a one way ticket. If a regular joe like me can see it’s a bad investment without rules, a potential generational ship sponsor will avoid it like a plague. Fact is, the only reason why a company would do it is because they would be able to set up sovereignty in a new place/planet.

Sure there would be many people who would be against it but there would also be many people who would be up for. What makes you think you aren’t already owned.
