I am vastly interested in space. I think shutting down NASA was one of the worst moves Obama could possibly have made. Space is just... it, simply put inspires, nay, DEMANDS awe. You can look up at the sky, and see millions upon millions of stars with the right equipment. You can see planets in our solar system and how amazingly intricate the landscape of each planet is.
The topic here, Forumers, is this:
Is the colonization of other planets possible, and to what extent if so? Could humans in the future set foot on other planets and be able to build metropolises much like those on our homeworld?
What techniques could be used to accomplish the task of colonization?
The principle elements for colonization would be...
>Shelter
>Water
>Food
>Oxygen
I think if man could tackle each one of these, they could establish a working colony. But, the question remains...
How?
