[Redbook1:80][19690213:0000a]{Space Imperialism}[13th March 1969][Age 17]

Thursday 13th March1969. [continued]

            While it is sad that Europe is not in the Space Race, I don’t think we need to worry too much about colonies on other planets in other systems being ruled by other powers.  Firstly, by the time real space exploration is possible Europe should have caught up. Secondly, in the early stage at least, communications will be so difficult that imperial rule should be impossible over economically self-supporting worlds.

            NB This new plastic [see previous section] could revolutionise aircraft and space – and train – development.
