Nobody wants to share nothin' with nobody. Fine, I get that. And that's all well and good until Alpha Centauri comes knocking.

There's more at stake here than the old well and your countless auto wrecks held up with cinder blocks. Humanity needs a response to aggression, whether that be the rogue asteroid or comet or a full-on, by-God armada of hostile aliens. Granted we will likely be at a disadvantage, but we need to maximize our defensive capabilities. We NEED orbital platforms with nuclear, laser, and mass-driver capabilities. We NEED to develop an energy shield, to provide some kind of defense, however minimal, to the expected bio-weapons and rape-virii of the assailants. And if all else fails, we need a contingency DNA load, wrapped in enough metal to send our own sun into supernova.

Are YOU ready? Can YOU give what it takes?

I thought neuromancer was a boring book

Also I didn't like blade runner but we still have real animals so there's that
