i dont think anything in orbit or space is supportable without a planet. Or at least it would take so much effort and skill to pull it off.
Or maybe the rich want to have kind of ultimate ivory tower -> they live in luxury in orbital habitats while we slave on the surface for them. Maybe they would want to get somekind of coercion method too, like nuclear arsenal in orbit they could use to threaten any part of the surface that might get too rebellious. At least i can imaging enslaving the entire planet would be something those psychos dream of.
Well, its not that i think this is what they are planning right now, but it wouldnt put it past them.
Maybe, the destruction of earth is part of the calculations. If earth is gone, space might be an option.
Kinda feels like at this point it’s not “if”. It’s “when”.

Wasn’t that the script of Elysium?
