So, I'm not digging through all my comments to find it, but I've said a while back they're planning to take the money, colonize space and take enough regular people to be slaves and leave the rest of us here to deal with the mess they made.
God only knows the mess they can make here, while making a worse mess of Earth and maybe the galaxy.
Nah, they'll stay where it's best for a person to be, which is on earth. Space is a great place to visit but it's not gonna be a more pleasant place to stay than earth for a long time if ever
So you're saying they're Gou'lds, then? Who has Stargate future on their doomsday bingo card?
Robert Heinlein or some other sci-fi writer wrote about it in the 60s or 70s, and the ruling class seems intent on using dystopian sci-fi as instruction manuals, so sure, pick your character from any tale.
goa'ulds have the luxury of using a stargate or a ha'tak to escape a planet when the people revolt. these fools think they have a spaceship to escape with.
I mean, they are stupid cocaine-brained man-children, but it would be history's greatest fuckup to *choose * space over Earth. No matter how much we manage to fuck it up, it will always be more suitable for life than space or mars.
Not always. Eventually, our sun will expand and render Earth too hot for life.
Do we need to leave Earth today? No. Do we need to leave Earth soon? No. Is it wise to make long-term plans? Yes.
