I wonder if we will colonize Moon, Mars, establish some space colonies. Say 200 years from now. Will there be new nukes aimed at every Mars settlement just in case? At first I thought that space expansion will be our insurance from Earth nuclear war. But probably people never change.

I guess we need new ultimate defense against nuclear bombs. May be some intercepting drones which are cheap and impossible to avoid. That might render those nukes useless.



This is a major plot point in the show/book The Expanse. Very worth checking out.

The major point made in the story is that putting people in space just changes the types of conflicts we have, it won't eliminate them.
