Securing the World after Aeons of Struggle

What seems to be economic malaise might only be the absence of millions of years of struggle to reach the Moon. Much of it was zero sum carnivorous predation.

That does not mean coming to terms with the newly understood solar system will automatically be a piece of cake and without any problems. Some of the struggle to reach the Moon consisted of international war, and securing arms after war is an intense for of protocol. War is thousands of years old, so it is not merely a few years from which the world is securing its arms. There were entirely separate approaches with each branch having its own theology, and every other part of culture in each was commensurately different and suspicious of the others.

It's late, though, and one cannot write of that much darkness at this hour.
