Arthur Clarke said it first: If manikind is to survive, then for all but a very brief part of our history the word 'ship' will mean 'space ship. ' We will spead through space. We will build a colony on the Moon...and we will go to the stars. Where mankind goes, government goes. It is no idle thing, then, to think about what forms of government we will take to the stars. We in this enlightened age think we know; but do we? We are, after all, no smarter than our ancestors. We know more, but that's quite a different thing--and we have forgotten much that we had best relearn before we pay dearly for what they knew and we don't.
