Ancestralism

Also known as nativism, this is the belief that the saturnites will one day return to Earth. Another aspect of ancestralism is to accept as a foregone conclusion that at least one expedition will one day be launced to visit Earth, and the less fervent ancestralists have no particular desire for the expedition to remain.

Some scholars point to the concept of filial piety as a motivator for ancestralism.

Apologism
A problematic aspect to ancestralism is the attacks on the orbitals that motivated the journey to Saturn, which has prompted many an anti-nativist to invoke the "Remember Module Twelve" meme.

Racism
A small minority of ancestralists maintain that the saturnites' sole responsibility is to the people of the geographic region of China only.
