Humans will experience eternal peace in space
Expert Rick Tumlinson is convinced that the impending "space revolution" will mark the end of conflict as there is "no one to eliminate" in orbit.
Tumlinson, the co-founder of Deep Space Industries, said: "So far as we know, there is no one out there for us to conquer, no one whose lands we will steal or confiscate for our own.
"There is no one to displace, no one to eliminate.
"At last, this ugly aspect of human history has a chance to end."
He has also underlined the importance of treating any potential discovery of extraterrestrial life with "care".
Tumlinson wrote in a piece on the Space.com website: "It may be possible there is primitive life to be found under a frozen rock on Mars or beneath the under-oceans of the Jupiter moon Europa or Saturn's Enceladus. In that case, we are obliged to treat it with care."
