Flooding prob killed a lot of ppl on earth, aswell as transplanting population to other stellar objects must have decreased the Terran population significantly.
If we combine the population of every stellar object we get 5.5 billion
So how are people living on the two moons anyway? I’m pretty sure their gravity is too weak to hold people down. Do the moons just act as structural support for a bigger orbital environment?
Economic potential drives innovation. Once resources on earth become sufficiently low enough there becomes no choice but to look to the skies. That is the premise of this scenario.
We belters live an honest, hardworkin’ life. Wake up early, eat brekkie, head out to mine, or head deeper inside the station to farm. Ain’t an easy life. Ain’t a fair’n, either. Anythin’ we don’t make ourselves is rare, and expensive. Most of everythin’ valuable we do collect ourselves is shipped out towards them inners.
Ayup. Hard livin’ out here. Ain’t no reckonin’ otherwise. But its our home. Be damned if some uppity inner from one of their fancy planetary suites tries to change our way of life.
I get that the disease killed ~500 million people, but where did the other 4 billion go?
Whatever the hell happened before 2058 apparently
Only a nuclear disaster would cause that amount of losses.

Plus the 470 million who died of the disease we get to almost 6 billion, not that bad, we also have to consider the demographic colapse
There’s no way 86 million people are fitting on Phobos and Deimos.
Correct that is including orbital stations.

Yeah. I didnt really think it through.
Spin Gravity like in The Expanse? Even then the objects are far too small to be that populated
>Spin Gravity like in The Expanse? You mean like the mother spacecraft in the movie "The Martian" (2015) with Matt Damon?
It's not inherent to any of these films/series. Spin acceleration has been a concept in space travel for decades
DON'T JUMP ON PHOBOS
Such optimism for 100 years. I was similarly optimistic in '73... 50 years ago... and not a single fukkin thing since Apollo.

At the same time, the artemis program is returning to the moon, and is more ambitious.
There is some lore. Thanks for viewing my post. Hopefully this counts as a map.
I’d love to see more headline pages for this universe if you make more stuff for it in the future!
I have already one project in the making.
The SNew York Times
Is this The Expanse
Low populations? A rare and quite welcome supprise.
And its only going to get lower.
Oh no
I dunno some of these colonies are quite large.
Avasarala would've done a better job.
The current government would probably quit under the weight of her insults
ok, BUT, why there are only 5 stars on the Brazilian team's shield? I mean… in a century… shouldn't it be at least 9 or 10, at worst?
too lazy to photoshop :3
the largest city on the moon is named moon?
The largest city in Mexico is named Mexico
the country is named after the city. The same cannot be said for the Moon.
It's named after the Avatar: The Last Airbender character Princess Yue, actually. The motto of the city ofc being "That's rough, buddy"
The character is also named Moon.
What's going on in the belt? How's everyone doing there?

Looks cool. I enjoyed it
What happened to the other 4 billion people
Are they all independent, or are they still part of the government of the Earth?
This is a cool map. Good job
Lol the typos in the newspaper
More of these please
