If mankind colonises space, enabled by a technology based upon free and open-source-style collaboration, it would be an iconic example for future generations who live 'off-Earth', in terms of encouraging co-operation and resource sharing. These human-centric principles could help reduce the chances of purely self-serving forms of commercialism taking root in their cultures and perhaps lessen the likelihood of conflicts arising from aggressive, exclusionist groups that might otherwise have been more common.

If we do successfully colonise space, eventually more of humanity will exist off the Earth than on it, so helping to set the right tone for these future colonies is quite significant.
