The problems with space colonies

The problems with space colonies

Space colonies are very interesting things, but they are more problematic than we ever imagine. The biggest problem is what is the focus of those colonies? If we are thinking of the colony as the bubble. The atmosphere is an easy transfer to the bubble and they might look simple to build. The bubble-station can establish "very easily". The craft will send to another planet, and then the bubble will blow to the form. But still, there is needed the argument for establishing those things.

So what if we would send the crew to another planet, that means that the flight time would be a couple of years. And if those persons would stay awhile at the surface, they must be social and own very good interaction skills, because they cannot escape anywhere from their bubble. But the reason why we send that bubble on the journey? The fact is that there is always the possibility that something goes wrong. And there is a conflict between members of the crew.

What if somebody will punch the teeth out of some other team member's mouth? Or what if somebody is starting to act otherwise violently? How that situation will solve? The thing is that from the surface of another planet is no place to escape. And another thing is that if the problems are noticed during the flight, the craft cannot turn back and it has to accomplish the mission.

Solar X and Elon Musk have also shown one problem with the space colonies. That problem is whose rules are in the stand at that distant world? If we are thinking that the space colonists would land on the moons like Titan, the weak gravity would change their muscles, but another point is those people would spend a long time of their lives on that journey.

So what kind of people would go on that kind of journey? If we think that the journey to Saturn would take about 6 years to direction, that means the journey takes 12 years. And then the crew must be on that place 4-5 years, the journey takes 17 years. Those people will see everything changed during the journey. That means that those people should be very motivated. The Mars trip would take about 3 years. But the fact is that the motivation of that crew must be very high.

Both Mars and the farther journeys require the surface laboratory because the crew should feel the surface of the planet. And the problem is that people must sometimes be alone. Would there make other bubble stations or bubbles around the main bubble, that the astronaut can be alone a while?
