250. Conceived on this scale, there should be room enough for private, collective, and mixed models to work. Ideological disputes founded on an assumption of scarcity and rivalry for resources may be largely inappropriate to mankind's future in space. As Lincoln said during the US Civil War, “As our case is new, so we must think anew. We must disenthrall ourselves.” The present Moon Treaty contains only the outline of things to come. Negotiations of specifics of the space legal and political regime will present complex problems, such as how to create rules and voting procedures which will serve to prevent exploitation of minorities (racial, ideological, or economic) and yet allow action. A good deal of ingenuity will be required for construction of the political machinery to deal with the problems — Einstein said that politics is more difficult than physics — which will confront us in dealing with the social agenda. Space industrialization can ill afford time and energy wasted in largely irrelevant arguments about application in space of idealized systems which have rarely, if ever, actually existed on Earth.
