RE: SpaceX's Mars Colony Plan: How Elon Musk Plans to Build a Million-Person Martian City
I've always wondered the same thing. Wouldn't a moon base better prepare us?
I've always wondered the same thing. Wouldn't a moon base better prepare us?
my thought exactly! considering all the advances we could/would make from moon based industries, research and colonization. have you read john varley's early novels/short stories? especially the collection of short stories 'the Ophiuchi Hotline'
No but I love Arthur C Clarke's vision of our space colonization future.
Did you read Clarke's story wherein he proposes 'space elevator' made of a cable of carbon filament fiber strands manufactured in a geostationary platform? Very visionary and forward thinking
If that was in the Rama or 2001 etc series then yes!
I want to say the first Rama book but it's been such a long time since I read it and all my books are in storage - le sigh 😉
