| Jun 26, 2014 at 10:12 | comment | added | James Sheridan | I haven't read that book. Is that one of the new post-Asimov stories? It's not exactly fair to keep that in mind when discussing why something happened in the Asimov works. | |
| Jun 26, 2014 at 9:08 | comment | added | Ionuț-Claudiu Herciu | @JamesSheridan: I rather think the Giskardian robots, under the leadership of Daneel, made sure almost no one would want to. I'm referring to the techniques of planetary mind control explained in Foundation's Triumph. | |
| Jun 26, 2014 at 8:50 | comment | added | James Sheridan | @Bobson: Great point, but even if the Empire itself lacked the will, it's doubtful that no-one else tried it. Many colonisation programs on Earth were private ventures, or even conducted by rebels, like the Dutch. | |

| Jun 25, 2014 at 16:49 | comment | added | Ionuț-Claudiu Herciu | What you are saying is true, but I recall the number of inhabited worlds in the Milky Way remaining unchanged for at least the last hundred years before the events in "Foundation", which most likely meant the Empire had no more habitable planets to expand into. | |
