Questioner [PENDING REVIEW]
In the Cosmere, as space becomes more developed...*inaudible* outer space.
Brandon Sanderson [PENDING REVIEW]
It's an interesting question that I've had to ponder. Would the space race happen more slowly because there's an alternative, or would it happen more quickly because you know other planets are inhabited. I'm not going to answer what I came up with, because it's a plot point in the books. So I'll give you a RAFO card, but that's the question to ask yourself.

That wasn't my question! My question was, in the Cognitive Realm, with the gap between planets...
Brandon Sanderson [PENDING REVIEW]
Oh! Will the gap between planets get larger as more people travel in between it. So, barring things like space stations, there's going to be so few minds in between, that I don't expect space to become larger because of that.
I don't expect it to be a factor, except--barring--there will be possibilities of certain regions popping up.
