So this just came to mind just now. But let's say somehow you managed to get banned from every country on planet Earth. Somehow, someway. What happens now? Does NASA just shoot you off into space?
1. You go to a country which does not deport those refugees who can't go to their own countries. You ask refugee. If you are banned, you will not get refugee but they don't deport you. 2. You sail in international waters with your yacht Kinky Position. Crew goes to land when you need fresh prostitutes and food and drink and drugs. 3. You move to Antarctica. (Now I'm starting to wonder...@Lifeline... What on earth have you done?) 4. You give a lot of money to some corrupted third or second world passport handler and get a new identity (or a bullet). 5. You live normally in some megacity as a street person without identity. 6. You live normally in some extremely rural and harsh area with your dog Barkie, very old pick up truck and a black cat. You must have a rocking chair. In summer time you keep it in porch. If anyone asks anything you tell that "I'm Bob and I mind only my own business." If you are Bob with dog, cat, pick up and a rocking chair you must be ok as long as everyone leaves you alone.
It costs about $20,000USD to lift one kilo to Low Earth Orbit. According to the US Federal Aviation Administration, the average male airline passenger weighs 200lbs, which is close to 91kg, which means about $1.8mn USD. One of these costs about four cents. If you've done something(s) so bad as to be declared persona non grata by every country in the world, it's a safe bet that you'll be taking a long walk down a short hallway to a cell with a drain in the middle of the floor in one of them.
Ben Bova’s “Mercury” had a guy exiled from Earth. I guess in the future people it will be possible to bd ‘banned’ from Earth for some crimes?
Sorry about that post. Looks like I deleted half a sentence. Was referring to some sci-fi scenario I read years ago - it wasn’t a ‘death sentence’.
How many countries ban people at all? Usually they'll throw your ass in jail or execute you for whatever offense would get you "banned" in the first place.
