David Sun does not hold a PhD, the Obama-Biden academy being what it is. So we'll have to read his psychometry outside it. Here, summarised at X, is the slate of traits humans require to survive the tundra and steppe.
These traits further affected the Han when they came to south China where rice was grown. There their native communitarianism scaled to collective-productionism: 共 产. The more-Chinese way remained village-oriented, as Confucius promulgated, as the Zhou ideal. This would have been a subculture under the later Shang, which Yin family still ruled Confucius' barony; the Yin, of course, had learnt their lesson, a lesson hardly lost on Confucius.
The Americas also proved to be village-communitarian, as can be seen through the plethora of local native languages. Although, as in China, mass production of grains would emerge, here maize and the Milpa system it requires.
I expect that space life and, later, asteroid life must select for Inuit/Aleut traits, which are also Finnish traits. The one possible problem is that, in space, the people will need a lifeline to the home planet, whatever personal pride/honor might suggest. Also needed will be allowance for quick on-the-spot improv: the stone age Arctic is low on tools where your Lunar base should have 3D printing and all the robots Starship can send.
