With discovery of a potentially inhabitable planet 20,000 light years away, plus everyone making plans to reach Mars first, is a space race for the next inhabitable planet apt to lead to warfare? Yes, ideally there should be a single, UN-type space agency, but given their ineffectiveness in resolving problems here on earth, what hope is there for a working agreement between nations of earth in outer space? Given the failure of probes, will nations sacrifice lives just to plant their flags first? I know it sounds crazy, but most of those feeding theories that teh USA never made it to the moon, are the envious nations that never got there themselves. I'm saying space should be a joint HUMAN venture, non-military, and non-agression between groups in space, most importantly, ban the import of materials from foreign planets to earth, which is why a lunar colony to quarrantine and analyze specimens, to prevent contamination of earth, should be the first priority.
