I am trying to figure out how to make a moon (75% of Earth size) of a gas giant habitable. To give an idea of the technological level, here are technologies the colonists have access to: fully a...
I am trying to figure out how to build a human colony on a moon (75% of Earth size) of a gas giant. Some details of the planetary system chosen for colonisation: K-type main sequence star (about...
My space colonists (160 people) are mostly scientists with at least two advanced degrees and some research experience. They all speak English because it is a language of science today. However, the...
I am thinking about using Groombridge 1618 as a setting for my world. It is a main sequence star of spectral type K7.5 Ve, 67% of the Sun's mass. The habitable zone is at a radius of 0.26"“0.56 AU...
In commentaries to my other question @JustinThyme suggested that high-functioning autists could be the best space colonists: A great deal of very successful scientists ARE autistic. Einstein, f...
I want to use mechanical counterpressure spacesuits (something along the lines of BioSuit) for my story. They seem to have many advantages over traditional pressure spacesuits. The existing protot...
The Question What would be an efficient and relatively low-cost solution for collecting and recycling of space junk? The most important criterion of effectiveness is the ability to remove even sm...
A lifeless moon of a gas giant (which orbits a K-type star [4200K] at about 0.7 AU) is chosen to become home to a space colony. Colonists plan to transform it from a barren rock into a garden of Ed...
