Future of the World - Space Colonization & New Superpowers

[Episode 1]

In this video I combine my two favorite topics, alternate history and space. I delve into how the future of geopolitics may look, and how we in a speculative future may colonize our solar system.

The future is coming faster than we think, and space is the new frontier. In this video, I dive deep into a speculative alternate/future history, where fully reusable rockets and multipolar world powers ignite a new space race. Major players like the U.S., China, and India compete for dominance—not just on Earth, but in space. From lunar bases to self-sufficient colonies, we explore how geopolitical shifts and technological breakthroughs will reshape humanity’s destiny. What will the future of space colonization look like? Find out in this thought-provoking alternate future timeline!

You should make a series about an alternate future of space colonization, it would be pretty neat

[pantheraerospace]

Finally some optimism in this dark age

Everywhere I go I see pessimistic predictions about the end of civilization but u really made my day! Here's to the future!

[isaacbourdeau]

I like this scenario. Not unreasonable but also optimistic

[KhAnubis]

As someone who’s also been obsessing over our future in space for the past few years, I like this, we seem to have converged on a lot of ideas (I especially like the idea of exploring a semi-post-scarcity society). I’d be interested to see how you think the Moon and Mars will look into the 23rd century, as I’ve imagined them as having different colonial territories and/or slowly breaking off into their own nations

[akigreus]

A few small gripes.

2200's Mars would be a "wet desert" in that there is enough water to run a small hydrosystem but no plants worth mentioning, and the water is toxic.

Venus underutilized, cloud seeded algae farms would serve nicely to transfer nitrogen to Mars.

[Mapper_Space]

You should turn this into a mapping series, with a video for every decade or so. I would love to see how each country grows and evolves.

[svenandersen]

As Indonesian i love how you put Indonesia as top 5 world power out of nowhere and didn't bother to explain it unlike another 4 countryside

[Alderite]

Honestly You need a Part 2 on this, Events happening between 2300's to 2500's. and what possible new nations might occur

[TheRavenLord]

As a native of the Moon Titan, we don’t need humans here. We are fine without them present out here.

[Ellhulto]

Starship, Stellaris music and just space in general! This is an awesome video!

[Marylandbrony]

I might not agree with some details (Mainly some of the population stuff’s far future projections) or certain geopolitical developments (Russia remaining a major world power, The NAU not being a greater USA) but overall this is a reasonable head-cannon for the future.

[nexustheninja]

You just perfectly combined my two favorite subject matters! Bravo, you have definately earnt my sub for as much as that is worth lmao.

[Alcyon_C]

I'm writing a sci-fi universe called "Ikanis Universe" with a friend and I really liked the way you treated this alternate future. Right now I am in the process of researching futurology in numerous places, in addition to reading books on the subject.

Also my search is on the internet, looking for pages on this topic, and watching videos like these as a way to base myself on the data given here to create the future of the science fiction universe that my friend and I are creating, it seems. As for the idea presented here, I have a very similar vision about the future of today in 200 years.

I have seen the previous parts of this video and they are very good, I rely on a part of it for my science fiction universe as well as other sources where I look for guidance and inspiration for it.

Thank you very much and good video :D

[Terranallias]

I like how Indonesia is considered as a viable space colonial power but not Russia. It makes sense but it's pretty hilarious.

[erickromero]

DAMN, what a good video man! Love all of it, mainly the asthethics looks sooo coool man, nice work!

[codysparks]

This reminds me a lot of The Expanse, which I think is the most accurate depiction of what our future could look like. Great job!

[ICXR]

Definitely many countries you overestimate or underestimate, and the predictions overall are iffy at best.
Though it is cool to see this kind of content.

[aquilae]

This is genius. Please make a series on this!

[ALIHQG]

I wish this was longer, amazing vid!!

[johnlivelys]

Very good video would love to see more content related to these parameters possibly exploring the individual history of each colony
