If it evolves into the space age, which cities on earth have the opportunity to rise?

If humans evolve into the space age, that's what we're talking about. Our activities extend from the earth to the whole universe, at least to the whole solar system. But at that time, the most convenient city from the earth to space will become a new economic development point, such as Jiuquan in Gansu Province, China.

The energy required to launch a satellite or rocket on the earth is different at different latitudes and longitudes. The closer you get to being late, the less energy you need, which means the more fuel you need. When the space rocket is launched, that fuel is much more expensive than our traditional fuel, so the less fuel, the lower the economic cost. These low-latitude and sparsely populated areas have become good launch points because they are also limited by many specific terrain conditions.

Of course, there may be another situation, that is, our technology was mature enough at that time, and we could travel back and forth between the earth and space as freely as driving without the help of a large launch base. At that time, it was estimated that the influence of geographical location was so small that people could even take off in their own yards and fly to a certain planet in space. At that time, the total number of human beings may be more than double that of today, because there are more and more planets in the area where people can choose to live.

You still need our scientific and technological level to reach a very high level, at least it is impossible at present. In the next few decades, it is estimated that space tourism will become a new point, but it is only a point, because the cost of space tourism can be gradually controlled now, but there is still a long way to go before people can really move into outer space. Through people's technical equipment, people can live in space as freely as they do on earth.
