That's an interesting one mate. I do love me some sci-fi and earth go hard, but I reckon human space-age civilisation would be pretty fucked. not quite 40k deliberately over-the-top, catholic space nazis meets Judge Dredd fucked, but still not great.

probably more along the lines of the colonies all think earthers are stuck up pricks and earth people think colonists are backward yokels. probably a fair bit of piracy and corporate warfare going on, massively corrupt politicians and mega-corps secretly running the show, think something along the lines of Deus Ex or Bladerunner in space.

Buuuut, when some aliens try and start shit we'd fuck 'em up because we're good at putting aside our differences to kill bigger threats and are good at total war and mass mobilisation. And with humanity's history of being good at murder I reckon we'd be pretty popular as mercs around the galaxy.

How about yourself?
