Who cares to whom space belongs to? Its not like you can patrol billions of kilometers. A spaceship can shut down its systems and not radiate any infrared light and it may stop all acceleration to not radiate any gravitational waves. It could suddenly appear near a solar system deep inside the territory of another state. If it is ftl, it is already invisible. If there is a particle in the universe that moves ftl, it can be used to see ftl objects but not accelerating could probably make them invisible as well.
In Thrive, territory should only exist for planets and rogue planets. For dyson swarms, there could be a system where every spacehip reduces the amount of light another spaceship receives as the orbits get crowded. I donāt have an idea for nebulas or dust clouds. It isnāt easy to harvest them anyway.

I had a really stupid idea but I want to share it with the world
What if, we turn Apophis into an Earth moon? Like, we can do a DART mission, but more advanced, which puts it in Earthās orbit. As he is closer to us than the moon, we could use it to be a stopping point to refuel or make orbital assembly between the Earth and the moon. Or maybe we could mine it, since it will be pretty close to the earth compared to the other nearby asteroids.Maybe we could mine it, even though it has a dull composition, the materials could be used to build extra rocket parts or parts for a lunar base.
Firstly, itās āitā, not āheā (I just broke a forum rule!). Secondly, I would rather make scientific research on it first and then mine it until it no longer exists.

Iām afraid that a satellite impact needed to put Apophis into Earthās Orbit would be strong enough to completely destroy the object into a dust cloud around Earth, which would be hazardous to space travel.

Stupid google translate (i know to write in english but i use it when im lazy)
Maybe instead of throwing the satelite, We could have the satellite land calmly on the surface and then fire up some retromotors that slowly bring it into Earthās orbit, or maybe Iām playing too much ksp
The star systems themselves would be split up using the following methods:
Any bases/presence in a system, the Government/Civilisation/Species in control of the base/presence will have control of the Sphere of Influence of the stars in the system.
If there is contest in the system, the rules are slightly different. If there is a military or government presence on a planet, they will control the Sphere of Influence of the planet, and itās satellites, both natural and non-natural.
The Government/Civilisation/Species that controls the majority of the Star System will be automatically in control of the system.
All previous rules will be ignored if a Government/Civilisation/Species has a home planet in that Star System, and no other Government/Civilisation/Species also have a home planet in that Star System.
If there are multiple Government/Civilisation/Species that have home planets in that Star System, the Government/Civilisation/Species are responsible for sorting it out.
If a planet is controlled by multiple space-faring States, the dominant State will be considered to be in control of the majority of the planet, and will be given the same status as other single or multiple planet states. They will not however, control the Star System.
The Star Sectors would be split using the following method:
A Star Sector is a group of Star Systems within 10 light years of each other. To be part of a Star Sector, the Star System would have to be within 10 light years of a Star System in the Star Sector. If a Government/Civilisation/Species controls the majority of the Star Systems in the Star Sector, the Government/Civilisation/Species controls all uncontrolled Star Systems within the Star Sector.
All other natural phenomena governed by the Government/Civilisation/Species that controls the nearest controlled Star System or Star Sector to it.
I hope this useful.
You could instead put it in an elliptical orbit around the moon, like the Luna Gateway Project, and dock spacecraft to it, and use it to carry resources to the moon, and use it as a factory and refueling station for extra-terrestial missions.

There is a gun to your head. For some reason far out of your grasp, you have been selected to choose how the National Space Agency allots its funds.
The prerequisite technology for all following projects has been invented, and there is a one hundred percent chance of all of them succeeding. But there is only enough money for one.
1: a permanent Lunar Colony.
2: a permanent Martian Colony.
3: a permanent Venusian Colony.
4: probes to Europa, Enceladus, and Ganymede to observe if they possess life in their underwater oceans.
5: an orbital space hotel.
6: a space station dedicated to studying the effects of zero gravity on a collection of small animals (flies, mice, frogs, etc.) over a period of several decades with semi-natural selection.

To be clear, there is no guarantee that the probes will discover life on any of the planets, just that they will reach them.

I also made the votes public so that those who were correct (like me) could mock and belittle those who were wrong (like all of you).
The correct answer was to refuse to pick between any of the options presented and instead demand that the funds be poured into a Batman movie starring Bill Murray turned into an uncanny valley abomination using de-aging tech.
Yes, they would have immediately shot you, but that is a worthy sacrificeā¦
it has been 80 days since august 11th, the day hhyyrylainen locked me in his basement he has been making me write posts on his account in his voice for ages so he could get the ascended role i have finally escaped and im out of his basement but i swear that itās looking for me it
itās ascended in real life. hhyyrylainen has ascended in real life
Me reacting with basically means that I denied all accusations. The same also applies if I react similarly to a post in Science! Iām doubting the scientific validity of the post.
