    If they’re functional, and we get serious about space or birth control, then no it’s not a problem. But that is another path we can take to really juice the dystopia.

      It will take a very long time indeed before we can reach another habitable planet enough to alleviate an exponentially growing population, and forced birth control will be unpopular, not to mention probably employed as eugenics by those in power against those who aren’t.

            Eh, it would be worth it with the right recreational activities up there and knowing we weren’t setting up altered carbon.

              You’d have zero control over your existence. Someone else would own that station and you’d exist entirely at their whim. They would decide if you get food, air, water, shelter. No real access to nature. I’d rather die.

                  You’re not renting air and water. You have a market of options to choose from. None of those things will be true in space.

                    Air yeah, water though. We absolutely rent water. My point though is that we’re already used to paying a monthly sum to exist.
