Now that we don't need human legal experts anymore, there's no reason to not switch to a system based on sortition. Randomly select a deliberative citizens assembly and have them use AI to write the laws.

"Habitable" planets are most likely worthless to any civilization capable of interstellar travel. There is plenty of material to manufacture artificial habitats in space. The only interesting thing to be found on planets like Eart

Using fusion for interstellar travel could work, but it would be extremely slow due to the low availability of fuel. Maybe it could be done for synthetic lifeforms or cryonic preservation. Generation ships and such are out of the question t

The government can't strip people of citizenship for this, but they can make it a crime for citizens to work for these firms. Though if you renounce, it is no longer a crime.
