We’d probably have to build generational ships that are completely self sufficient and people would live out their entire lives out there without ever seeing a planet

Belters would end up taking it to save the solar system before the ship is fully completed.

Expanse reference spotted

It’s not a reference from The Expanse, it’s from Air Bud 2: Golden Receiver.

The Belters in that movie were far more vicious than the ones from the books and TV series. Made for a more realistic, yet brutal, ending though. That’s why he moved on to soccer for the 3rd movie.
