I really hope the US doesn't collapse. Sure I have my critisisms of it, but I could never stand a country like china being the world leader, it would scare the shit out of me.

I just think their will be nothing like a world leader...in fact I really don't know what you worry about?
|
What I meant by world leader was more like when people say "market leader"
|
Ah I think China will not be it for long though (India is coming up aswell and with their population growth;..) An interesting future that is for sure...Three new imporant markets China/india/Brazil...will Europe be like an new middle east?, will USA found a way to pay their debts, what about Japan? etc;.

When you say it like that, it does seem like the future could be interresting. Maybe, there will be 4 superpowers instead of just 1.
What I find more interresting though, is what's going to happen to Mars when it gets colonized. Is it going to get split between countries, or getting its own management. Will there ever be a war between planets?
|
Four superpowers would be far more stable.
You know, mars is a dead rock, much like the moon. It can't support live. There's nothing we can do about that.
|
There are lots of stuff we can do about that, it's not viable to try terraforming at the moment though. Until then it's always possible to create pressurized greenhouses and just build any structures so that the air doesn't get out. Mars has plenty of raw materials, and supplies from earth could sustain a small population.

Mars can never become a earth-like planet. It's core is dead, and it has no stabilising moon - let alone a schield against the suns' radiation. It has huge duststorms, and very little water.
To build something on Mars, you need a reason to spend huge, and huge, amounts of money. There really isn't one, that's why we never build a base on the moon. Hugely expensive for so, so little gain.
