Colonies in space

 Until recently, the idea of ​​living on another planet was beyond science fiction. But lately, we have had the opportunity to see one of the many dreams that slowly unfold until we reach the window of truth. SpaceX and Mars One began projects to colonize Mars , And the European Space Agency was talking about the colonization of the moon, and China has explicitly described plans to build colonies in tunnels in outer space .. 

It is a matter of time before we see the first colonies in space .. It may seem crazy, but who knows you may be able to visit Any of them in the near future .. 

                                                     Sahab cities on Venus
                      

                                        Venus colonies will be hanging above the clouds!
Living on the surface of Venus will be like building a house in the hole of hell. Your temperature will burn your skin, the atmosphere will destroy you, and a thick mist of sulfuric acid will fill the air.

Nevertheless, some scientists believe that Venus may be It is not surprising, but the inferno of Venus is only on the surface, so it is not surprising when I tell you that Venus is comfortable as long as you do not touch the ground. 50 kilometers (30 miles) In the sky, Venus is one of the best places in the solar system.

Some scientists want to build floating cities directly on the top of the cloud of Venus .. These houses will be self-contained and filled with breathable air and flying balloons giant .. In the city of cloud flowered, life is very much like life on Earth .. Gravity will be almost identical, And the atmosphere will remain safe from solar radiation.

Even the temperature will not be too bad. It will drop at night to 0 ° C (32 ° F), while in the daytime it will increase to 50 ° C (122 ° F) .. You will sweat , But you will not boil and you are alive ..
 

                                      colonies tunnels inside the asteroids
                    

                         Transform the asteroid into a floating city in space

Living in space is not limited to planets alone. Some scientists believe that we can overlook potential homes throughout our solar system called planets and suffice with asteroids.

These may be the ideal places for future tunnel colonies. In outer space with elements like platinum. On the asteroid, you can destroy as much as you want because you do not have to keep it.

The idea is to create a space station around the asteroid and fill it with staff and drilling equipment. Until the asteroid is scrapped Ml ..
Inside the core of the asteroid, a new colony will be created. They will be able to extract water and oxygen from the asteroid itself, so the colony should be relatively self-sufficient in theory. And since they will live underground, they will be protected from the chemical elements present in abundance Space ..
 

                          Cities under the water inside the moon called "Europe"

                           

                                 Europe is one of the satellites of Jupiter .. It is covered with ice

Europe, one of the moons of Jupiter, is covered with a thick layer of ice .. No one knows exactly what lies beneath the surface, but there is reason to believe that the entire ocean waiting to be discovered if we can only penetrate that layer of frost .. 

theory , It will not be impossible, and it may already be a decent place to live. The surface of the moon is being bombarded by radiation not only from the sun but also from the buyer. However, under the snow, we will be safe from radiation and may even find A thriving network of springs of life .. The 

plan is to put a hot tool that splits the dead on the tip of a submarine to melt the ice .. When passing the submarine , The ice will fade and begin to explore the oceans of Europe. In theory, there should be a few places with air pockets that separate the ice from water. There, we can create floating housing and begin to fill the underground oceans in Europe in various aspects of life ..

                                                            Moving rules on the moon
                            

                                    The colony of the moon needs solar energy, so it must have the ability to move

I talked about things that are years away from us and I forgot to talk about the obvious place of colonization before our eyes and the moon. NASA is talking about setting up the moon bases for years. Originally, they wanted to build their bases in underground caves that fill our moon. The US space agency (NASA) is a new idea .. They want to put their colonies on wheels ..
Moon colonies need to be moving because the night usually lasts for 14 days - for the Earth - on the moon .. Such a long night enough to hit us cold, It is impossible to use solar energy to keep things going .. Although s The moon is always in the daytime and never night. This means that NASA will be able to cover the moon's bases with solar panels and obtain an almost constant energy source.

If the moon base was able to navigate, you will be able to change its location with the sun and always remain outside the scope of the cold .. This would also allow for exploration missions or settlers to establish tunnels in different parts of the moon ..
 

                                                                               Alberni area
                               

                                       The station shall be surrounded by rings used for different purposes

The

space station is surrounded by rings that rotate constantly at unbelievable speeds. The rings will have different purposes, some of which are used to grow crops and some are used to care for animals. They will all stay in place because the rotation will create an attraction similar to the earth's gravity at home.

However, that gravity will follow some strange rules. First, the center of the station will be a spherical body and you will be inside. Which in front of you rises to the top instead of falling to Down as it happens on the ground .. So, if you look at the top, you will see a scene - year - old people on the other side of that station - filming like filming football games , but you will see people in the sky! - ..

Gravity will be weaker at the center of that sphere than the edges. In the middle, it will be so weak that you can fly. This is something the designers have thought and think it could be a good thing. They think they can add a little fun to life In space by setting up a zero-gravity honeymoon pavilion in the middle of that ball. So, dear, when you get married and have your wedding done, but inverted! You do not need to travel with your sweetheart by different means of transportation. You will fly joyfully through the wings of Honeymoon. The

                                                                                             domes on Mercury
                                                   

                                                     If the colony could move, it might be possible to live in the hell of Mercury

The closest planet to the sun is not the most obvious place of colonization. For one reason, it is very hot. The temperature can rise to 427 degrees Celsius (800 degrees Fahrenheit) during the day, and for science it rotates very slowly around the sun. Earth days are not 87.969 days as it is mentioned ..

these days, despite their length, may actually be a good thing .. Mercury rotates so slowly that in theory, a city on wheels can keep up with that .. If a mobile city continues on Mercury Move, they will keep themselves on the edge of the sunlight, where temperatures do not differ significantly from the temperatures on the other Z ..

The mobile city must be enclosed and compact, in addition to being viable. As long as the mobile city remains on the northern side of the planet, it will be able to find pits filled with frozen water. It can then pump this water in that place. Which will be converted into oxygen through a process called photolysis. This will create a self-sustaining atmosphere and breathe on the nearest planet to the sun.
 

                                      Colonies in methane lakes inside the moon Titan,
                            

                                   Titan colony will float above sea of ​​methane

Titan, a Saturn moon, is a strange place. Methane rain flows from the sky and forms in large lakes. Its attractiveness is so weak that you can only sharpen a pair of wings, flutter your arms and fly. It

may also be the perfect place to build a colony. One of the biggest threats to living in outer space is the radiation from cosmic rays. There is no place in the solar system that protects us from cosmic rays better than Titan.

Titan's atmosphere contains more than Nitrogen helps to protect us from cosmic rays. Unlike planet earth, T. gets They have extra protection from the planet's magnetosphere. So, if we can find a way to stay on its surface, it will be one of the safest places to live.

There will be benefits as well .. Where is the lakes of methane and ethane that fill Titan wonderful energy sources .. This fuel will no longer be useful only on the ground, but it can be used to maintain the course of things in the housing inside the plastic domes bloated with warm oxygen and nitrogen ..

before you The future is like this: camps full of people who drink methane lakes inside Titan. And since gravity is 14% of Earth's gravity, they can lift a lot of weight without getting sweaty.
 

                                             Space mirrors about the asteroid "Or" Kirs "
                               

                                   Put great mirrors to melt the asteroid!

The cache in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter is a dwarf planet called Ceres. In essence, it is a large rock floating in space. But on the surface, it is covered with a thick layer of ice, which means it contains water and thus may support life. .

there is reason to believe that Ceres by an ocean of liquid water beneath its surface frozen, but it would be too far away .. I thought that the ice around the mantle of thick Ceres is about 100 kilometers (62 miles), which would be difficult to cut! ..

However, his son-in-law may not be difficult even if the idea seems a bit crazy. Some scientists want to put huge mirrors in orbit around Serees to focus the sunlight on the surface. They hope that the extra light pulls temperatures above the normal rate It is -73 ° C (-99 ° F) and then heats the asteroid sufficiently to melt the ice ..
If that plan succeeds, the rising water vapor from the ocean must create oxygen when it comes into contact with the radiation from the sun. In theory, this should help us to establish floating cities with domes on the surface of the dissolved planet. The
  

                                   helium tunnels in the planet Uranus
                       

                                Placing balloons in the atmosphere of the planet

Uranus is not the planet closest to us, but we are still thinking about colonizing it. This is because Uranus is full of islions (3-3He), a gas that we have almost completely exhausted on earth. As difficult as reaching Uranus, we have another option ..

the Jupiter and Saturn are also a lot of Alhiluon, but it is almost impossible Astammarhma .. attractive Jupiter is very strong which is impossible to survive, and the rings of Saturn 's raining surface with a barrage of meteorites .. compared with these two options , Uranus will be easy colonialism ..

Our plan starts putting hot air balloons in the Air Love the planet .. And from there, we will be able to absorb gases and sent to a space station in orbit around the planet ..
But it will be dangerous. The storms are sweeping all over the planet, and if the colony fails to get out of its course, it will be torn apart. However, we will have an incredible source of fuel that might be enough to colonize the planet despite the nose of these storms. ..
 

                                                    red forest planet Mars
                       

 

The green domes on Mars will enable us to live above its surface

Space operations are already underway. SpaceX has already set its plans to create an interplanetary transport system that sends a fleet of ships to Mars and returns once every 26 months. They were not open about what these colonies would look like. "Its Mars City" is to be covered with a glass dome. The

plan was created by a team at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology called The Red Forest. Their idea is to coat the planets with glass domes connected to a network of underground tunnels that act as roots Trees ..

The tunnels will take advantage of underground water and soil and send it to the domes .. Inside the Domes, a little water will be evaporated to create oxygen and supply water farms. The water will fill the cells on the outer surface of the dome and protect people inside from solar radiation.
That idea should work, an idea we might see in our lives. If the SpaceX plans succeed, we can expect to see colonies on Mars very soon. They claimed they would be able to attract a million people to live on Mars in the 50-100 years So you may end up being retired from your job and go to the red forest in Mars.
