1? ? | 0 1 1 1 1 2 3 Making The Case For The
Colonization Of Space.
In recent years, a rededication of the United States to the exploration of space has taken place, wlittle benefit to the planetary population as a whole. The resources that contemporary human socit us on (i.e. Oil) are dwindling. The creative energies of most of the human race are being stifld y n conomic and social structure geared toward productivity rather than creativity. Keeping thee treefacs in mind this paper proposes the immediate redirection of American resources to the peranen colnizaion of Luna, establishment of a space station orbiting Mars and a complementary Martin-moo base and he short-term explorations of the Martian surface, asteriod belt, and various oute-solarsystemmoons.This should be carried out in three to four stages. The first stage includes th constrction o an orbting space station around Earth designed for the assemblage and transportatin of colnizationl materils to Luna. A permanent colony on Luna should be opperational by 2030. Ths colony hould hav full faclities for a Mars colonization project. Step two will be carried out uing Luna a a jump of point. Hevy rockets will be used to transport the materials to a Martian orbt. A fleet f modified huttles wil be used to establish a skeleton space station around Mars by 200. Step thre will be thepermanent coonization of Phobos, one of Mars' moons. On Phobos the main prpose will beto establish complex withthe facilities of a 1990 Cape Canaveral times 3. It will aso require a flly self-suffient hypertonicfarm and fully stocked machinery and technology reserve because of theextreme distanc from either Lua or the Earth. Step four uses the Phobos complex tosend manned expeitions to Mars ad the asteriod blt by 2075 and possibly to the Galalien satellite or Titan by the arly 22nd century The advantages ae clear; the expanded colonization of Luna coud reduce various poblems here on Earh due to land restictions, mining expeditions to the Martian urface or the asterid belt will provid massive, untapped ineral resources for human use, and the NeoRenaissance" willcome to be the rallyng point of the huma race for generations to come..
Advantage One: Reduction of Terran problems by using most available land resources on Luna's brighte. It is estimated that by 2050 there will be almost 8 billion humans on the Earth, mainly in poo eins such as East Africa, China, and the Indian sub-continent. If 75% of Luna's bright side can e onered to living areas and hypertonic farms at a 3:1 ratio, much of the overpopulation and famie tat illbecome even more prevalent in the next century can be averted. Although development of tis mch Lnar urface will take decades, the process will reep tremendous benefits to the global poplatio. Theprodution of energy will not be a problem as the surfaces of the domed living areas (no the frms, a they eed sunlight) can be covered with solar energy receptors to convert the sunligh to enegy. Thi also potects the cities from infared and ultraviolet radiation. Life-support can b handledby the frms as geen plants use sunlight to convert carbon dioxide to oxygen. All colonist will liv on a vegtarian dit as there will not be livestock. There will be a great need in the net hundred ears for bth land an food for the human race. Luna can be a place to support the growin populationfor approxiately 150 yars before the Venitian Seeding project and the ultimate coloniztion of Venu. This paperwill concernitself, however, to solutions for the 21st century. Another cld reality isthe fact thatour planet isnot a limitless Garden of Eden as far as natural resourcesare concerned,which leads to..
Advantage Two: Mining expeditions to the asteroid belt and the Martian surface via Phobos Station wprovide untapped resources for the Earth and Luna (by this time Luna should have the population o 90North America). It is clear that the Earth will not be able to provide for the human race as fr s atral resources are concerned. Our only option is to travel into the mineral-rich asteroid bet t ge wht we need, and it's not dangerous to any ecosystem!
Advantage Three: The NeoRenaissance. When Columbus discovered the New World a surge of creative eneran through Europe, the likes of which have not been seen since. As a matter of fact, the human sceyis stuck in reverse. The general beuracracy that most people are working in is similar to the udl ysem of Europe during the Middle Ages. The middle class is dwindling at an alarming pace. Coutris lke ermany have realized that it must focus its workers into creative and innovative carrers Gerany s saing its' middle class while establishing itself as a global economic power. However, he Unted Sates,Japan, and other industrial nations have not realized this, nor will they since inustry as a bg say n the policy making of both the U.S. and Japan. The only solution is to provideopprotuities fr thesecreative energies to be expressed. This NeoRenaissance will provide those oprotuniesas it wil jumpstrt the human soul into being innovative and new again in the human race a a whole,such as wat occourd after Columbus discovered the New World.
The Earth will no longer be suitable for sustaining the human race at its current standard of exist within the next two centuries. The United States is the only nation on Earth capable of solving hspoblem, we must expand into space. Overpopulation, resource shortages, energy shortages, envirometa cnservation, and stiffled creativity species-wide can all be solved by expanding to Luna, Mas, nd ossbly Venus. We must, as a nation, take action now before it is too late for us, as a speces.
