Outer space changes from a colony to an economic partner with Earth.

The balance of power has, perhaps inevitably, shifted. Where once our space pioneers were dependent on Earth's support to survive, now humanity all but depends upon the resources and technologies that only the hardy denizens of space, and the other worlds, can provide. And so the deal must change, lest - as Earth's history dictates - there will be first resentment, and then conflict. The time has come to declare that our remote colonies are vassals and glorified factories no longer, and instead shall henceforth be treated as equal partners, no longer beholden to our demands and each given their own place at the negotiating table. Only once humanity's every distant offshoot works and trades in harmony will we be ready for what our brave new future holds.
