First humans born in space in meaningful numbers will not be citizens of an Earth country at all. Your comment is a red herring. Sending a few hundred people

First humans born in space in meaningful numbers will not be citizens of an Earth country at all. Your comment is a red herring. Sending a few hundred people into low Earth orbit is not "making it to space" in the sense being discussed in this thread. We're talking about a million humans living not-on-Earth. No Earth government gives a fuck about that. They became governments because they enjoy lording over hundreds of millions of people here and now.
