In Need of a New Myth

Where do national myths originate? They do not emerge by happenstance. Rather their creation and spread are an exercise of power. Influential historical actors, from antebellum slaveholders to the moguls of Hollywood and those Slotkin calls the ‘political classes’, have attempted to develop and disseminate broadly acceptable myths to serve their own interests.

If Luna is like Earth, with atmosphere, trees, animals, water, and everything that will support life, how do you think life in Earth-Luna will be?

  1. Will Lunans reach Earth first, or will Earthlings reach Luna first?

  2. Is Earth going to be united and wage war on Luna? Or, a Lunan Empire trying to conquer Earth, will force Earth to unite?

  3. Is there going to be cultural exchanges and trades between Earth and Luna?

  4. What if Luna is superior in knowledge and technology than Earth? Are Earthlings going to accept Lunans are superior?

  5. Will humanity (assuming Lunans are humans too) have colonised Mars already with their combined knowledge and technologies?

What do you think?

Oh. Before you answer, let's make this entire thread under a 4.0 ( ) . So, if someone wants to write a story based on the answers here (if there will be any), it's shareable and attribution is given. ^_^


Or, maybe you have book recommendations about such a setup like above?
