Life after Earth is becoming more and more possible with recent evolutionary efforts to map the universe, discoveries of Earth like planets, and the privatization of space flights by visionary entrepreneurs, such as Sir Richard Branson.

However, life on a new planetary system will have its challenges.  The future generations will inherit a very complex responsibility, that which is to keep and sustain World Order.  But is this truly possible?  Can numerous foreign nations with diverse cultural backgrounds truly maintain peace, while acclimating to new planets where land, oceans, mountains, and boundaries are unmarked or non-existent? These exact questions raced through my mind as I wrote Constellation Libra – Life After Earth.

Over the centuries, Monarchies, Dictatorships, and Republics have co-existed, but not always peacefully.  It is my belief that when the time comes for a new world order, only an international unification of socially stable governments who share equal codes of governance and measures each life as valuable, despite cultural diversities, can truly govern for the long term.  As we reach the apex of human evolution, order and governance are not the only challenges facing future generations.  Scientific and medical technologies are increasing the average human lifespan and cloning technologies are advancing in replicating organic beings.  Maimed soldiers are returning home from Iraq and Afghanistan and are given new mechanical arms, legs.  Future generations will one day have to cope with human beings who have evolved and wisely determine if suprahuman beings will bear the same rights as their fellow man.

In Constellation Libra – Life After Earth, I envisioned the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) or (OTAN) in French, as the new Superpower who inherits the responsibility of protecting and preserving citizens loyal to NATO and even to citizens who chose to be neutral.  While writing this first part of the Constellation Libra saga, I questioned my own loyalties and pondered over whether or not I could give up my own citizenship, pledge my loyalties to not only one foreign nation but to all members of NATO and live out the rest of my life in an unknown planetary system.  Could I leave behind all of Earth’s history generated from vast years of human evolution?  It’s been approximately a year and eight months when I started and completed this book, and I am still divided over this burning question.

When I could not answer the question of whether I would stay on Earth or flee to a new planet, I realized that the choice and opportunity to live in a new star system was not one many could make so easily.  Living in a new galaxy would mean becoming alien to ourselves and catalyzing into a new age, new societies, new codes of conducts and creating a lineage outside of Earth and all its history.  So, if I may have an audience with you, I turn the question over to you.   To whom would you pledge your allegiance?  Would you stay on Earth to keep the history of your family and loved ones alive or would you take up citizenship to a new world order for ultimate survival?
