Because we want $$$ and we want to take over the universe

Cultural differences. Keeps us all at arms reach instead of bringing us closer together.

We all have different opinions, wants, interests, education, need etc, the fact that you're posting this just makes you look naive and Immature.

There are two beetles. The last two of their species left on earth. Somehow, in such a large world, with so many creatures larger and smaller, they will find the exact same rock, climb it and fight one another to sit at the top of it.

The conflicts are naive and immature, there is no real gain for anyone, only losses, nobody will be able to conquer the world, only destroy it.

And its stupid a dumb, the future and wealth is just above our heads, right there and with plenty of room for everybody!

propulsion is a major problem.cosmic rays, solar winds,Mars has no molten core,therefore no magnetic field....you'll fry,it's not that simple,space stations yes, terraforming....they did tests in the desert regarding living on planets.....everyone went insane

Oh man... That last part sounds like some kind of Twilight Zone episode.

That's why they need to work together! Tehn they will find solutions to all these problems, remember that there was 1 nation that had the first human being into Space and another the first on the Moon, do you know when that happened? How long ago? Exactly! If they could do that ♥♥♥♥ just as 1 nation back then, what in the world are we doing right now with all our capabilities? Just wasting them on meaningless conflicts, building up our militairy, showing off our powers to each other, what a waste!

Oddly enough I was reading about it before logging on Steam. We are all connected, brothers and sisters.

there's no finanacal gain to solving these problems,until mankind thinks of the big picture they won't be solved....we are well overdue for an E.L.E but no one cares....except NASA who doesn't get the funding it needs

This is a thread specifically about politics. Politics is just people figuring out what they, as a group, should do - and figuring out how to figure that out.

We can't (and shouldn't) all work together and "focus on space" because we have problems to deal with on the ground.

remember Shoemaker Levy 9 ?.......Wall Street won't protect you from that, nor will clinging to cliches....putting your eggs in one basket is asking to be taken out

Stop sitting on the your couch telling others what to do. Get out there and start working for it. A cliche that fits; Be the change you want to see.

I said that because Steam doesn't like to discuss politics, so when we don't go into detail and name countries and what conflicts they have this thread should be able to continue.

Those problems are problems WE created ourselves! And like I said for what? What is there really to gain? All these governments that are now in conflict with each other are not looking ahead! You know very well there isn't anything meaningful to gain here, you can't take other lands anymore and resources will sooner or later be depleted and in the meantime they're wasting tons of those resources right now because they're in conflict :/

And when a new War stars nobody will win, the losing party will never surrender but will destroy the whole planet as we know it before they go down so wtf are we doing?? And some call me naive :/

Yes, we did. And they don't magically go away by us building some spacecraft.
