Here's my humble prediction, Within the decade, humans will send
robotic mining probes into the main asteroid belt, to reproduce
themselves using asteroidal matter, till we have a huge solar
powered labor force out there, mining , refing, & storing refined
metals, glass, chrondites, solvents , gasses, & water in preparation
for arrival of human colonists............. Completely sidestepping
all food & lifesupport costs in the early stages. This is the only
really affordable approach to opening space to human colonization.
Once the belt industry & free fall rotating colonies have been
established, only then do planetfall colonies become affordable.
Even a Lunar base could not survive for long without resources from
the Main belt & cometary belts.I am part of a privately funded space
effort to proceed in just the manner described. I'm happy to field
any questions or comments.
Human habitation of space is the most important goal we have as an exploration-hungry species. Of course there are many steps we must take along the way. We...

I think Mir lasted twice as long as the soviets ever intended her to. As a matter of national pride, continued funding was secured from GOD knows where , even...

Okay, so here's my opinion on the whole Mir thing: Yes, Mir's time had come and gone, in fact it stayed up 10 years longer than it was designed to. It never...
