How to Build a Space Colony | Visualizing The Future

[@foxdavani4091]

Every time Kronos does a new video, I keep thinking kurzkazact. That's good. Me, a huge fan of kurskazact, have found a home here to and think of these videos, just as fun to watch. Good job Koranos. Keep pushing the boundaries and getting me mixed up with my beloved German channel. That is evidence that you're videos are of high quality, good information and entertaining. You have my support.

Kurzkazact is a funny Variant of kurzgesagt

[@viktorvondoom9119]

The only thing it is lacking is transparency on the sources like in Kurzgesagt. And birbs

[@eamonndalton]

@@viktorvondoom9119 I think Kurzgesagt is much better with this: Koranos needs to be much more transparent on their sources. The information isn't as trustworthy without these sources. However, Koranos is a pretty good channel. Like you said, transparency is the only issue I'm seing with this. It also seems derivative of Kurzgesagt, but that's not a bad thing. We, as a species, need more Kurzgesagt's out there. @Koranos, Keep doing what you're doing, just be more transparent. Good job; The quality of the video is great!

The space station designs which rely on rotational force to maintain gravity are making centrifugal force. Under centrifugal force, the difference in rotation between your head and your feet will make you eventually faint. I would not want to live in a centrifuge. We have also not made artificial gravity. I'm sorry to say this video is misinformation based on excited researching.

A fairly silly cartoon gimmick. If anyone can build such a huge colony, dropping a rock is easier and cheaper.

​@@JFrazer4303 You fool, asteroids would have to be brought in from the asteroid belt first, while the colonies (which were built by asteroid mining to begin with) were already in Earth orbit.

[@GadreelAdvocat]

Might be an idea to find an extremely slow rotating asteroid. Then send robotic craft to make it so that one side is tidally locked to the sun. Solar panels could then be placed on the side facing the sun for continuous power. Then two basic artificial gravity habitats are placed on it's surface, rotating in opposite direction to cancel out torque on the asteroid. Then mine out underneath the asteroid for resources and use regolith not needed to cover over habitats to protect from radiation, micro meteors, and regolith and dust movement from the surface of the asteroid.

[@TimStCroix]

Like many space enthusiasts I set my own hand to designing space habitats. Here's my latest effort: Like the video said we need to provide gravity through spin, radiation shielding, CO2 -> O2 recovery, food and light and electricity. For radiation shielding I propose a hollow torus made from lunar material 2 meters thick with an open slot on the inside edge for access. Within this torus the habitat itself spins while supported by mag-lev tracks on the radiation shield, the mag-lev tracks being opposite the slot. On the outer edge of the radiation shield are solar panels delivering the electricity generated through the shield to the habitat using inductive coils near the mag-lev tracks. The mag-lev tracks can then be used to spin the habitat both up and down (when needed) using solar panel generated electricity eliminating the need for reaction mass for this purpose. The torus provides a counterweight, spinning in the opposite direction. The shield will weigh many times more than the habitat so it will spin relatively slowly compared to the habitat, meaning it won't need to be as strongly built as otherwise. That last point is, what I believe, a major selling point of this design. At the center axis of the structure is a spindle extending in both directions providing crew and material access and light gathering and delivery (one half) and heat reduction (the other half.) Light gathering and delivery is provided by light pipes. As there is no atmosphere in space the pipes can be coated in silver instead of aluminum for much better reflectivity without worrying about tarnish. The pipes extend to the habitat through the slot, as does crew and material access tubes and heat pipes running to the other half of the spindle for radiating away. The radiating spindle half is shaded from the sun by a rotating shade and supports enough radiators to remove excess heat. The attitude of the entire station is such that the spindle is perpendicular to the plain of the ecliptic, the rotating parts aligned with that plain providing total radiation shielding from the solar wind and if the slot is narrow enough there might not be a need to shield the top of the habitat from galactic cosmic radiation. So we've got radiation shielding, solar panels providing electricity to the mag-lev tracks as well as other needs, gravity through spin, sunlight through light pipes to grow plants for O2 production and food and, finally, heat removal. The spin will need to be stopped every, however many, years for solar panel maintenance but spinning up and down with solar panel generated electricity will be very cheap. That's my design, submitted for critique and ridicule. Have at it.

[@Contrarian-ol2bc]

The O'Neil cylinder needs to be thought out a little bit. First off its simple, which makes it easier to build. It also looks to be the most practical design of the lot. Mining the moon should only be done to use those resources ON the Moon. Only for the logistical reason that the Moon's gravity well makes it too expensive to haul stuff away. It is much cheaper and easier to basically dock with any of the thousands of asteroids within the orbit of Mars (or millions of them in the asteroid belt). The smallish ones of 10km or less in size (which is the overwhelming majority of them) have barely enough gravity to hold themselves into a pile of rubble (dust, pebbles, rocks, and boulders). This makes them *super easy* to mine. The only stuff you need to haul up from Earth (or possibly the Moon) is the original mining/refining equipment and equipment to build more equipment. And as long as you're at an asteroid full of the materials you're after, you might as well just build a space habitat on the spot and save all that effort of moving stuff around. In fact, if you put a big bag around an asteroid and spin it a bit faster, it will come apart and be on the sides of the bag. THAT is even easier to mine, its like a ravine in Minecraft, you just walk along until you see what you want. This hollow asteroid is now doubling as a shield against space radiation and random rocks zipping around.... so you'd want to build your O'niell Cylinder space habitat inside that nice cozy hollow. When you are building an O'Neill Cylinder and the very ground everything is going to be on, you would of course build in your subway transport tubes and maybe dedicated package tubes as well as all water, sewer, power, and communications infrastructure (internet lines), etc. This means *none of that* needs to be built 'above ground'.. this means *no need for roads or cars* , which means that much more room for people and parks. Also if you think about it you would want *more surface area* , and so as long as this habitat is miles wide and long, you can build dozens of levels, *each one with its own sky* ! If you make a 'level' 250+ feet (roughly 75+ meters) high you have many options for lighting day night cycles, and different climates! This means you don't need to worry about several resource intensive industries like oil/gas or building ships, cars, and trucks.

We should already be able to predict the best direction to explore interstellar space. Would be best to explore in a single line. This would spread us the widest distance and increase survival in a large scale extinction event like a rogue black hole. So the direction we choose will be “number of stars that line up in that direction x how close they are x chance of habitable worlds there”. We would deplore like that. So….we should get a team to analyze which straight line to take.

I've always maintained that space colonies housed within an O'Neil Cylinder, a Stanford Torus, or other such structures is the future of human colonization of outer space. Within such a structure, the environment is fully engineered to Earth-normal conditions. Gravity, temperature, radiation, all of these conditions are easily controlled within such a habitat, as opposed to trying to control the environment on the surface of the moon, or Mars, or any other celestial body in the solar system. Also, the energy required to travel between habitats is negligible. Accelerating away from one O'Neil Cylinder and traveling to another would require Delta-V equaling mere fractions of a meter per second in order to depart, as opposed to accelerating to escape velocity from the surface of Earth, Mars. or even the moon. Accelerating a massive spaceship means thrust, thrust requires fuel, fuel adds weight...and around and around we go. However, accelerating a spaceship weighing thousands, or even tens of thousands of tons, to depart one O'Neil Cylinder colony to transit to another, would requires little more than a puff of thrust. The advantages are so obvious, I would say I can't believe SpaceX isn't focusing it's efforts toward that as opposed to a city on Mars. However, Elon Musk is, without question, the most unimaginative idiot to ever launch a rocket. His engineers at SpaceX says he hardly knows which end of the rocket points upward, so there's no surprise his ambitions are so pedestrian and banal.
