" I WONDER WHETHER MAN WILL EVER GET TO THESE PLACES IN THE REALISTIC FUTURE [ .. IN 406080 YRS ], I MEAN MARS AND DIONE AND TITAN AND VENUS. I SUPPOSE A SERIOUS COLONY ON ANY ONE OF THESE PLANETS WOULD NECCESSARILY INVOLVE ... COLOSSAL SCIENTIFIC AND ENGINEERING ORGANISATION - TO SUSTAIN THE COLONY IN SPACE ... I IMAGINE FOR SO MANY CENTURIES " <br /><br /><br /><br /><br />i wrote to a friend the above xtract on the feasibility of the colonisation of space.i am reminded of the failings of the shuttle etc, and so many failed missions in the world's space-history .. that sharpen the reality of serious space-development; what it really costs to put things into space. <br /><br />to put a space-colony up into space, to my medium physiks-trained eye, does seem quite a demand. i envisage a colony would have to have efficiency and continuum, to serve a function in a way. i suppose there may be elaborate research or something, to origin itself; and project capital/funding for the colony probably wouldn't be difficult, initially .. though if a colony were in situ for something like a century, i suppose more permanent brokerage could be served up. <br /><br />i, know that NASA and the americans are thiking of the moon and mars; places to colonise there .. <br /><br />i'm not so sure the science generally, is sufficient. ideas of: pressurised- habitation on mars, for astronauts and coping with the effects of radiation, i guess water, or, lead-lined colony-walls; even in the event these colonies were 'sub' mars-terrea, and protected. <br /><br />what would be gained on mars or dione or titan or the moon; that could n't be achieved in earth-orbit here , for eg, on the ISS. the prospects of war here on earth and in space, is continuing. how selective is a "REAL" space-colony- idea, from the standpoint of such inequality and denial home on earth. will, a fresh start to life somewhere else in space be any better than the polluted seas and the air we have to endure .. of our world. <br /><br></br>
