Governments responded to Neo-Socialist terror attacks utilizing classical countermeasures akin to those used against other forms of public disruption. Regular law enforcement agencies were the first line of defense, ramping up surveillance and maintaining law and order. As space became a new frontier for these attacks, the International Space Patrol was reformed and equipped with advanced offensive capabilities to handle threats quickly and effectively.
Despite the wave of violence, the momentum of space exploration and development remained undeterred. Any infrastructure impacted by these events was promptly restored, fueling further investment in space-related projects. Importantly, contingency plans and alternative solutions were often readily available to compensate for any affected infrastructure, rendering individual attacks largely ineffective. Instead of deterring public opinion, these events seemed to galvanize more support for space exploration and development.
A case in point is the attack by the anti-technology terror organization "Technophage" on the solar sun shade, which led to the destruction of 10% of the panels. This event catalyzed even more financial commitment to space, as efforts were ramped up to replace the damaged panels. For the replacement of the damaged panels, new units had to be manufactured and launched into space. The scale of the production alone meant an increase in jobs in the orbital manufacturing sector and a spike in the demand for materials, technologies, and expertise related to space hardware. While the original panels were derived from lunar resources, the replacements were mined from asteroids and constructed using the large-scale automated factories stationed at the L5 Lagrange point. This shift in source material and production location expedited the return on investment for these orbital facilities, demonstrating their operational and economic efficacy more rapidly than initially projected.
However, the violent actions by some Neo-Socialist factions inevitably tainted the image of the entire movement. As connections between Neo-Socialist terror groups and some governments became known, public opinion began to shift. Despite some states becoming dominated by Neo-Socialism, including the majority of Indian states, it failed to establish itself as the primary global policy. As the 22nd century advanced, an orbital economy thriving in synergy with Earth's high-tech sector contributed to a decline in Neo-Socialist influence. The trend towards extremism within the movement, combined with the disclosure of political alliances, sparked a notable public backlash. As prosperity increased, the radical form of Neo-Socialism began to lose popularity and evolved into a fringe movement for about four decades.

Much later, by the mid-23rd century, a shift in public opinion saw Neo-Socialism regain prominence as a counterbalance to the World-Friendship movement. The World-Friendship, which initially aimed to bring the world together, slid into dictatorship, causing public opinion to turn against it. An international coalition centered around Neo-Socialist organizations eventually overthrew the World-Friendship dictatorship, positioning Neo-Socialism as the dominant political force on Earth and eventually leading Earth into unilateral isolation.
Reflecting upon the past, the period marked by Neo-Socialist terrorism, despite its numerous distressing incidents, represents just a chapter in humanity's transition into an interplanetary society. As progress in space development continued, numerous critical issues persisted on Earth. Environmental degradation went unchecked, and a large part of the global population was unable to reap the economic rewards of the burgeoning space-driven economy. The extreme violence enacted by the movement may well indicate the friction and discontent among those unable to partake in the benefits of space development. This conflict seemed to act as a conduit for a divided society to vent its tensions, albeit without significant alterations to the overarching course of development.
