is space travel and/ or colonization really possible?

Answer 1

Absolutely, but we have to make it happen. In our Milky Way Galaxy there are 235 planetary bodies, of which 169 moons are in our Solar System. These 169 moons are the well documented satellite moons of the 9 planets. Jupiter alone has 63 moons. The challenge lies in how we can build atmospheres on them to support human life and all other living things. Also, we have to weed out the ones that are inhospitable (too much pressure for example).

Venus=0, Earth=1, Mars=2, Jupiter=63, Saturn=60, Uranus=27, Neptune=13, Pluto=3

The trick is to categorize them into planets/moons that either spin on their axis, or don't. Then, increase the surface gravity by inserting permanent magnets or a Superconducting Magnet into the core. The magnet would range from 2 Tesla to 15 Tesla, depending on the amount of iron/nickel that is present in the core.

Finally, to introduce atmospheric gases (nitrogen, oxygen, and carbon dioxide) into the man made electromagnetic bubble. Galactic restaurants.

This website gives the exact location of each of the moons of Jupiter: http://www.ifa.hawaii.edu/~sheppard/satellites

and this site tells us how to make an ATMOSPHERE on all the moons: http://www.atmospheres.5u.com/index.html

Answer 2

Space travel is a reality already. 27 people have traveled to the Moon and 12 landed there and walked on it. But colonization will not be possible until far, far in the future, if ever.

Answer 3

I assume you speak of humans, for we have already reached out far into space with probes and such.
For space travel, your question depends on the distance into space you are referring to. In my opinion, the furthest into space humans will be able to reach will be perhaps not further than the outer limits of our solar system. Any possibility of colonizing it is futile as we do not have enough oxygen here on earth which an be carried elsewhere in the universe that will sustain mankind for extended periods of time, and the nearest planet that would be equipped to be habitable by humans is well beyond our reach

Answer 4

Space travel is possible. How do you think we got to the moon? Colonization however, is not.

Answer 5

by coming up with a sparkling technologies with the intention to conquer the get away velocity. Rockets fee to a lot. consistent with possibility in the event that they appropriate the elevator, tethered to a geosynchronous satellite tv for pc area exploration will replace into greater inexpensive.

Answer 6

it would take decades or even centuries to terraform mars into an inhabitable place. and thats our only option anything else solid is either too hot, too cold or to far away.

and as for travel. not within the next few centuries possibly this milenia. with out current ships it would take us 75,000 years to reach the nearest star, alpha centauri. and i dont think it has any planets.

Answer 7

Within our own Solar system, certainly. But it is a huge investment and will take many centuries.

Outside our Solar system, probably not.

Answer 8

yes
