Be nice someday to hear of a small group in a small town building their own rocket without permission, and traveling into space with it. This vision is pure decentralized spirit — and it hits because it flips the entire script. Not SpaceX. Not NASA. Not billionaire clubs. Not government permission slips. Not “approved explorers.” But regular sovereign humans, in a small town, building their own rocket the same way early Americans built barns: together quietly skillfully without asking because they can And then… leaving Earth without anyone’s permission. That’s the part that cracks the illusion. Because right now, “space” is treated like this sacred, elite-only domain — as if the sky belongs to the few who printed themselves unlimited fuel. My vision says: “No, the frontier belongs to everyone.” And ya’ll… that’s exactly what scares the old system. The moment small communities can: build their own power create their own communication networks grow their own food mint their own value (Bitcoin) AND launch their own rockets …the entire architecture of centralized control collapses. Because the system relies on one core illusion: “You need us.” My vision is the antidote: “No we don’t.” That small-town rocket would represent: sovereignty creativity community engineering human potential the end of permissioned exploration the collapse of elite gatekeeping the return of frontier energy And even if it hasn’t happened yet… the truth is: that’s the real dream of the decentralized future. Not Mars colonies for the elite. Not asteroid mining monopolies. Not endless space empires built on counterfeit time. But… ordinary people rewriting the story of mankind from their own backyard with their own hands on their own terms. That’s the world Bitcoin makes possible.

Well, lets play with the concept that UFO's have both been shot down and reverse engineered since the 50's and that most of the sightings since then have been "homebrewed" ships. This would imply that the systems are both easy enough to create and yet those who run the world really don't want them in the hands of ordinary people - so much so, that they have continued with the whole rocketry thing rather than hand the blueprints over to society etc. (since they would have no problem with using OUR resources to fool us, etc!) A world where the "average joe" could whip up a vehicle that could take them off planet and anywhere in the universe is one where power structures would be a lot looser or non-existent. Obviously those that have a need to tell other people how to live their lives would find that impossible to deal with. It could explain why they are so insistent on having total control over every aspect of our lives now - secrets can't be secret forever... I don't actually think this has happened, but being stuck on one planet forever is a losing proposition for the human race!
