We already made this discussion. We will use autopilots and human pilots to back them up.

Knowing Belgium, everyone will vote for themselves out of mistrust for anyone else, and some kind of weird direct democracy coalition will need to be formed from 11 million or so individuals.

Yes, we can use the same system they use in airplanes nowadays. Autopilot deactivates when there's human intervention, and possibly activates when an immediate danger is spotted.

Space is mostly empty, and humans ain't exactly the best in staring at stars for multiple days without going crazy.

Autopilots will never have to sleep , however humans must eat , drink (boooze) and sleep .

Autopilots can fail! If there is an error we never come to mars!

A starfleet captain is much cooler then an autopilot, and when we have battleships then we will also have captains to fly and shoot them!

And human's can't fail?
If our pilot gets space madness or whatever and passes out, and nobody else knows how to fly the ship, what do we do without an auto pilot?

We can lend the ones from NASA, I mean, the project has an estimated cost measured in billions, a few thousand to get an autopilot to work ain't problematic.

Also, how long can a human be attentive. I mean, we're talking about a 1.5 year long voyage, and probably 6 hours piloting a day. Staring at nothing but stars. Chances for any intervention are so small they'll probably only happen 5 times in the entire lifetime of the craft. If, for example, a meteor is on a collision course, they wouldn't even notice.

Naah, we'll just abduct the top NASA people and wear their skins as suits.

To steal their plans and stuff, not as uniforms.

On death penalty: I think it'll be outlawed in the constitutional draft except for circumstances where it is unavoidable and the criminal getting away is not an option. It should however be kept as a voluntary alternative to lifetime imprisonment/forced labor/test subject duty.

And the penalty for corruption and other forms of treason will of course be woodchippering.

death penalty seems a useless waste of resources , we could make them do eternal slavery , use their souls as toilet paper or other useful stuff .

"one day there will be a time when we will turn diamonds into coal and use golden toilet paper that menaces with spikes of platinum ..." would be excellent propaganda !

A current issue seems to be utilization of the death penalty.  Unless that has been resolved?
