Humanity I think will buy it as it already has. Behave and you can go to heaven. Literally. You have to be emotionally mature enough to not commit crimes to space travel.
It’s simple and radical idea and now is the time to make it international law. Crime is not permitted in space and anyone unable to be emotionally mature enough to not commit crimes either does not go to space or is immediately returned to Earth.
We have really fucked this one up on Earth now and as the population expands and resources become more limited and there is more extreme weather we have to make a better go of take two. Space.
Crime is in essence an immature act as it is there for a reason unless it needs to be repelled. A sane mature mind when faced with a law that needs repelling to do the right thing would get the law repelled first and not break it.
So if we limit who we send to the heavens then we could make it crime free.
This would make of mans evolution ultimately Earth would be the dumping ground for lifes ‘undesireables’, it is already according to Scientology.
Perhaps making a reality out of the idea of religion is not bad.
Just make it that one can go live in heaven while still alive.
There is a sense of immortality from even just going into space – seemingly.
I think humanity would do well to stand on 3 goals.
Established off planet colonies.
Them being crime free.
(Easiest way is to make each individual and all it’s members collectively self-police, Scientology and a few other ism’s have shown plenty example of this working to varying degree’s).
Everyone wanting to go live in them and have ‘the good life.’
So the Special Space Services would only be disaster response teams with medics and relevant engineers but not the police.
People still bent on crime would be sent back to Earth of not leave it.
Makes sense from not only an evolution perspective but also the religious idea of be good and go to meet your god is achieved in ones own life time.
Let’s face it, if your a Spacer and an Earther you are more than just an Earther.
