What future technology could make it realistic for humans live most of their lives in space?
I thought about making gigantic round space station that would spin when it moves that could form an artificial low level gravity. Steroids combined with mandatory weight training from young age could solve the problem of weak muscles in a low gravity environment. I'm not sure what to do about weak bones in a little gravity environment. I'm also not sure about what would power the stations. I was thinking solar on nuclear energy but I'm open to ideas. And then there would be the problem with food. I'm not sure how a low gravity environment would affect plant life. It's possible that earth plants will not survive in that type of environment. I'm not sure what other source of food you could use to sustain human life in outer space. Any ideas?
