WHATS WRONG WITH PLANETS?
2007-08-02 13:57:20 · answer #1 · answered by Anonymous · 0⤊ 0⤋
Sorry, but the answer is no.
The main reason why going out into the Universe, or having homes in space is because the Federal Government would rather spend our tax money on Freon countries and people that are to lazy to work for a living.
Every time the Demarcates get into office, they cut NASA budget.
I my self, I don't even look for man to be going to Mars in the next fifty years.
There are groups in America that would stop space travel all together if they could, they think spending money on going into space is a waste of money.
These people really can't see past their own noses, at all the new things that space research has brought us.
When the US Government was sending men to the Moon, I was a young man, I'm 66 years old now and we have not been back to the Moon.

What are you talking about? I'm posting this from my house on Venus. Hey, and I hear the neighbors might be moving out so a house might soon be available....we're talking great active volcano mountain views!
Seriously...
I am in agreement with most here. 10 years or possibly even 15 to 20 years would be insufficient time to devise a plan, test it here on Earth, then trial test it on the Moon or other planet without humans, then trial test it with limited humans, collect and review all the data, work out the flaws, and then slowly build the master planned community, and ultimately populate it with average human beings.
It would also require the resources of multiple nations, just as we are doing with the Space Station. As a single nation could not afford, much less have all the engineering ingenuity, to undertake the task. With all the diversions of current global problems (i.e. Iraq war, Iran and North Korea diplomatic friction, global warming, disease and famine, natural disasters, etc.) our resources are already spread thin.
Now, if this was a question you were supposed to answer for homewrok, or to settle a dispute for you, sorry I chimed in so late....lol.

No. Plain and simple.
There is no atmosphere in Outer Space. So you cannot breathe.
Next, there is no water in Outer Space. So, you will die of thirst.
Next, there is no source of food in Outer Space. So you will starve. Were you to try and grow your own food in Outer Space then you run into the situation of having to heat a much larger space than just you as a person would require to have heated.
Outer space has no heat. So you need to burn or consume energy to create warmth.
Visualize moving into a sardine can for five or ten years. Not a pretty sight - eh???

Is it technologically possible? Yes. Even right now we could do that if we wanted to. Problem is the people in charge of the funding for that technology don't want to. A better way to phrase your question would be "Is it politically possible to live in outer space...?" For that question, the answer is no, and not likely until a major change happens in the mindset of not only the government but the majority of the populace as well.

I don't really see it happening in the near future (10-20 years). It is physically possible as people are staying in space stations now but it wouldn't be practical. I think you mean actually forming a society of sorts, right? There's just too much work to be done yet. People wouldn't want to move there, at least not most, if there isn't anywhere for them to go and no real way of getting around yet. I really think that actually living away from earth is a very distant dream right now.

Space station crews live in space now for extended periods of time. They call their cabins "home," and keep their knicknacks and family pictures by their beds. I guess it depends on your definition of "home."
As for space colonies with dogs, cats, and lawnmowers, it is not likely ever to happen. At the present rate at which we are exceeding the bearing capacity of the planet's resources, the human race will be too poor to continue space exploration long before that level of technology exits.
Sorry. A couple more good elections might help. Vote intelligently!

You mean like the ISS, the International Space Station, where there are permanent residents, or more accurately, there is a constant and permanent residence of varying people. So there are people living in space NOW. LImited availability of real estate, but for 3 lucky people, it's reality.

No, I don't think so. Its taken Voyager II, what...25 years? to get to the outer edges of our solar system. And thats unmanned. Where would you get food, water, etc. from?
If you mean something like a colony orbiting the earth...I don't think in 10 years...maybe 50 or 70.

Not in 50 years.

I'm gonna go ahead and say that anything is possible. but highly unlikely that it will be accomplished in 10 years. maybe in a few hundred years we'll be living in space homes.
