The so-called 'first nation state in space' is about to make its first foray in to the final frontier.

This is going to turn out similar to the movie Elysium with Matt Damon, makes me think of bioshock too for some reason.

This sort of thing pops up every few decades. It is a great idea but since people are involved as soon as enough money stats coming in THAT is what the entire enterprise becomes...just another scam that takes in money so that the "opperators can get rich. Money attracts this sort of person the same way a pile of fresh poop attracts flies. 

Also governments won't tolerate it. Governments say in power by seperating people into groups and then convincing them that they are protecting them from all the other people. Anything that involves people across international lines coming together is seen as a threat and the response is always the same. 

Read up on the Esperanto movement. Just think how messed up the world might be for governments if their people started talking and found out that basically people are pretty much the same everywhere and only the governments want to mess with other people.

I don't see how monetary advancement is going to be kept out of the equation with lawyers involved.  How is the space city/state/country, for want of a better classification, going to deal with us monetary motivated Earthlings to keep them in supplies they can't produce themselves. ,  If the whole thing works, FABULOUS!
