Space Colonization, Settlement, Humanization (shared spaces)
Space colonization (also called space settlement, space humanization,
space habitation, etc.) is the concept of autonomous (self-sufficient) human habitation of locations outside Earth. It is a major theme in science fiction, as well as a long-term goal of various national space programs. While many people think of space colonies on the Moon or Mars, others argue that the first colonies will be in orbit. They have determined that there are ample quantities of all the necessary materials on the Moon and Near Earth Asteroids, and that solar energy is readily available in very large quantities. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_colonization http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OcwOuaJ_fSw |

There are no plans for a self-contained colony anywhere doing anything. Catch two asstronaughts going at it in ISS FUBAR and NASA will crash the white elephant into Australia will all on board.

Nope, just decide what it wants to duplicate and what it doesnt. Just like it gets to decide what of the environment and plants and animals on earth it wants to have in the colony as well.

The base want is to 'see' a human as a total organism going and living somewhere else. Instead of a part of this human organism. A part of humans cell structure, a DNA sample. Also the human in relationship to perception of the evolutionary chain. For humans to live somewhere else, any part of this chain might accomplish much the same thing. The space colony idea is to travel inside of an idea. The idea being a fully evolved and developed human. The question is, does life really work this way? It does not seem so. What is thought to be the most advanced societies ever to dwell upon the earth, some are now steeped in arguments over how to 'pay' for human health and if, or not, the planet they live on is changing. It is unfathomable how such a group could then 'pay for' a ongoing mars colony. They can not even 'pay for' the one on earth! |

LEO is hardly "Space Colonization", especially at $20e3/kg (inert mass) and perhaps $50e3/kg of biodiversity that's as complex as humans. Obviously you are rich and powerful, and don't have to actually do anything for earning that loot, and you obviously own slaves that you don't even have to feed or properly house. India still has a Caste system, and your system is? A planet like Venus has unlimited local energy and all the minerals or elements of Earth, except most of those being a whole lot easier to come by. With local energy there's practically nothing that can't be accomplished (including snow and ice if you like). Get it? (I didn't think so, because most here are too snookered and dumbfounded, as dysfunctional 5th graders looking for an exact Eden like planet where you can survive naked, as in the buff, and without utilizing any speck of tools or technology, and otherwise no biological or physiological adjustments) Good luck with that pathetic hallucination of yours.

If an icy planetoid or proto-moon were going to be headed in the right direction, away from its home solar system and towards that of another nearby solar system, then by all mean it could be safely utilized as your multi-generation interstellar space craft, as an entirely capable sphere of hosting sustainable life (no matters how dumb or unnecessary). However, you are correct in that most can't seem to manage or otherwise pay for living here on Earth, especially within any similar controlled ecosystem as would be required in space or on some other planet or moon that isn't already Eden approved. ~ BG |
