Re: future Interplanetary Civilization discussion.
This topic is mute for there is no life out there or non that we will at least meet in the next 10 trillion years.

not required for the discussion. the discussion is about 'how might we hold together some sort of civilization at interplanetory distances?'

Assuming based upon current technology that it takes 6 months - 12 months to travel to mars. It would have to be a self governing colony with contact with earth - FTL communications might allow a limited empire but FTL would be the only thing that succeeds.

true, but still, the question is 'how might that work?'
and it need not be an empire. i said civilization.

not even an interstellar news network? 'all the news, nothing but the news and all the obselete news?' 
ever read Larry Niven's man-kzinn wars series? very bloody, but he has two semi-functioning civilizations with STL.

Re: future Interplanetary Civilization discussion.
Sorry Narf, I am really depressed right now. I should have said that it is not going to happen because we will never colonize another planet. Even if we did, the colony would fail, or just be a military science outpost.
Secondly if the utter complete unlikelyhood that we did colonize another planet, it would go much like inter nation relations go now. So again, it simply is not worth it.

Re: future Interplanetary Civilization discussion.
anything not tried will invaribly fail. anything tried may succeed.
have you tried anti-depressants? they work for me.
besides, britain may have lost a colony when the us rebelled, but the world gained a country.

Yep, maybe really you have not your best day, or maybe I'm too optimistic... but I'm pretty sure that if the mankind doesn't destroy himself before this, our home system will be colonized and even some planets terraformed (Mars, Venus as example). Of course that think it will not happen soon (a millennium?).
But colonize beyond our home system... think the probabilities are not so good.
