Stolen first post

>implying colonists won't first fight each other rather than the distant Earthlings

Geneva, but probably New York since UN building is located there.

Why don't we have a nice scientist like Carl Sagan anymore to popularize science? ;_;

Personally I think it would be located close to the equator line, where we could set up space elevators and giant customs facilites where we would sort out space ressources.

You're not a fan of Neil deGrasse ?

NY is overrated as fuck

Cause your elected government thinks science is bullshit, since it takes power away from them and gives it to the people.

He doesn't do nearly as good a job as Sagan, and Sagan was more of a successful scientist.

Even Tyson's Cosmos was much worse than Sagan's original.

Like every large well known city in the world? Shocking.

we're really brainwashed to accept NY as world capital though
it's the less american of all those cities and at the same time it has "good" publicity because of unitedstates media

>Which city will become Earth's capital ?
Istanbul

Good way for someone to crush the capital by collapsing the space elevator.

well well aren't you a nostalgic one

Singapore

Is Sagan's show worth watching even though technology has evolved since then ?

They'd probably create an artificial city in the Atlantic or something.

Yes. The content hasn't become any less true or relevant and the way it is presented is extremely superior to the newer Cosmos.

Interesting. Like other planned capitals including Astana, Canberra, Washington DC, Brasilia...

But why would you live in a frozen shithole ?

Ok I will

And planned cities are often disconnected from the country, feel inorganic and foreign

Great, it's a show that everyone would get benefit from watching once.

>Which city will become Earth's capital ?
Palmerston North.

Jerusalem

Lisbon is the optimum city because it's close enough to both the equator and the greenwich meridian to be considered the center of the world.

What goes on in Lisbon? I never hear or read about it for some reason.

You mean the capital of the afterlife

reported for antisemitism
Don't nuke Jerusalem please.

>because it's close enough to both the equator and the greenwich meridian to be considered the center of the world
so why not Accra or São Tomé?

>over the tropic of cancer
>near the equator

...

There's only one correct answer.

bangcock for me

Beijing.
