Japan's economy in the 1980s was a bubble, but what if it kept growing, and Japan continued to be an economic and technological superpower engaged in a second Space Race? "The Country that Bought the World" by Senkosansan deviantart.com/senkosansan/aโ€ฆ
A cartogram of GDP in 1995, when Japan was at a peak.

Hatsunia represents an optimistic counterpart to the trope of โ€œJapan as a dystopian Cyberpunk superpowerโ€ and tech doomerism in general. So it is inspired by aesthetics like Cyberprep and Frutiger Aero, which emphasize "the positives of technological advancement."

The deployment of the Valkyrie Class Tug has proven highly economical: The tug can cut the transit time to Ceres from 780 to below 300 days. In the belt it is then commonly sold as a product, as valuable as any freight it helped boost out!

The Valkyrie Class Interplanetary Transport Tug is unique among the large freight haulers of the 2060s: It is fully assembled on the martian surface and then launched in one piece via Skyhook. At 168 kt fully fuelled this makes it the largest spacecraft not assembled in orbit

A surprising number of sci fi fans in general are Luddites. Dune fans, cyberpunk fans and expanse fans are usually very anti technology and anti space exploration. This is because popular sci fi tends to be very dystopian for some reason

A real problem with all scifi about the future becoming grimdark and dystopia is that every time a new technology is developed, the kneejerk expectation among those exposed to that media will be to equate it being futuristic with it being dystopic.

My question for people that think like this is why they tolerate any other country existing on Earth at all, especialy with nuclear weapons? I swear crab bucket mentality doesn't want to let anyone escape their control, like Earth's gravity well is the Berlin wall of space.
It would be personally detrimental to me if humans living on Mars or the Moon decided to chuck an asteroid at Earth, yes.
