I live on astronomy. And that’s perhaps why people are surprised when I say I’m not an enthusiastic supporter of space colonization.
I’m not at all, I just can’t be.
And I am not just referring to exploring planetary systems of other stars, whose distances are and will forever be absolutely insurmountable regardless of our technological capability. No, gentlemen…I am also decidedly skeptical about the possibility of our species establishing bases or colonies on our home planets!
Follow me, I’ll tell you why!

Mercury
The closest planet to the Sun. Minimum distance from Earth: 91 million kilometers. Diameter of 4880 km. No atmosphere, poor water ice reserves. Gravity: 38% of that of Earth. Surface temperature: -180 to 430°C. The local day lasts 88 Earth days.
Venus
Minimum distance from Earth: 42 million kilometers. Diameter: 12100 km. Gravity: 90% of Earth’s.
Moon
Closest body. The average distance from Earth is 384,000 km. Diameter 3400 km. The atmosphere is absent. Gravity: 16.7% of Earth’s. Surface temperature: -153 to 123°C. The local day lasts almost 30 of our days.
Ceres
The largest object in the main asteroid belt. The minimum distance from Earth is 265 million kilometers. Diameter: 940 km. Gravity: 3% of Earth’s. The atmosphere is absent. The average surface temperature of -106°C.
Europa
Fourth largest of Jupiter’s moons. Minimum distance from Earth of 630 million kilometers. Diameter of 3120 km. Gravity: 13% of Earth’s. Average surface temperature: -240 °C. Atmosphere virtually absent.
Titan
Saturn’s largest satellite. Minimum distance from Earth of 1280 million kilometers. Diameter of 5150 km. Gravity: 14% of Earth’s. Average temperature: -180°C. The atmosphere of nitrogen and methane. Ground atmospheric pressure: 1.5 times Earth’s.
Pluto
Dwarf planet in the Kuiper belt. Minimum distance from Earth: 5800 million kilometers. Diameter: 2380 km. Gravity: 6% of Earth’s. The average temperature of -230°. Extremely rarefied methane atmosphere.

  2. Why should we get to destroy more places? We already hurting each other. Why should we get to leave earth and start messing with everything and everybody else that is possibly out there lmao humans are the WORST. I’m glad we not making it out there

  3. You make valid points based on current technology. I think it all depends on what technology is developed or discovered or even shared in the future as to whether we can colonize our solar system or others.

  6. ☑️ If you want to explore the Universe JESUS CHRIST is your ONLY Hope of that ever happening _not to mention the ETERNAL LIFE that goes along with it ✝️ ….
    The cross of Christ will be the science and the song of the redeemed through all eternity. In Christ glorified they will behold Christ crucified. Never will it be forgotten that He whose power created and upheld the unnumbered worlds through the vast realms of space, the Beloved of God, the Majesty of Heaven, He whom cherub and shining seraph delighted to adore,—humbled himself to uplift fallen man; that he bore the guilt and shame of sin, and the hiding of his Father’s face, till the woes of a lost world broke his heart, and crushed out his life on Calvary’s cross. That the Maker of all worlds, the Arbiter of all destinies, should lay aside his glory, and humiliate himself from love to man, will ever excite the wonder and adoration of the universe. As the nations of the saved look upon their Redeemer, and behold the eternal glory of the Father shining in his countenance; as they behold his throne, which is from everlasting to everlasting, and know that his kingdom is to have no end, they break forth in rapturous song, “Worthy, worthy is the Lamb that was slain, and hath redeemed us to God by his own most precious blood!” GC88 651.2

    There, immortal minds will contemplate with never-failing delight the wonders of creative power, the mysteries of redeeming love. There will be no cruel, deceiving foe to tempt to forgetfulness of God. Every faculty will be developed, every capacity increased. The acquirement of knowledge will not weary the mind or exhaust the energies. There the grandest enterprises may be carried forward, the loftiest aspirations reached, the highest ambitions realized; and still there will arise new heights to surmount, new wonders to admire, new truths to comprehend, fresh objects to call forth the powers of mind and soul and body. GC 677.2

    All the treasures of the universe will be open to the study of God’s redeemed. Unfettered by mortality, they wing their tireless flight to worlds afar—worlds that thrilled with sorrow at the spectacle of human woe and rang with songs of gladness at the tidings of a ransomed soul. With unutterable delight the children of earth enter into the joy and the wisdom of unfallen beings. They share the treasures of knowledge and understanding gained through ages upon ages in contemplation of God’s handiwork. With undimmed vision they gaze upon the glory of creation—suns and stars and systems, all in their appointed order circling the throne of Deity. Upon all things, from the least to the greatest, the Creator’s name is written, and in all are the riches of His power displayed. GC 677.3

    And the years of eternity, as they roll, will bring richer and still more glorious revelations of God and of Christ. As knowledge is progressive, so will love, reverence, and happiness increase. The more men learn of God, the greater will be their admiration of His character. As Jesus opens before them the riches of redemption and the amazing achievements in the great controversy with Satan, the hearts of the ransomed thrill with more fervent devotion, and with more rapturous joy they sweep the harps of gold; and ten thousand times ten thousand and thousands of thousands of voices unite to swell the mighty chorus of praise. GC 678.1

    “And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying, Blessing, and honor, and glory, and power, be unto Him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever.” Revelation 5:13. GC 678.2

    The great controversy is ended. Sin and sinners are no more. The entire universe is clean. One pulse of harmony and gladness beats through the vast creation. From Him who created all, flow life and light and gladness, throughout the realms of illimitable space. From the minutest atom to the greatest world, all things, animate and inanimate, in their unshadowed beauty and perfect joy, declare that God is love. GC 678.3

    I highly recommend 'Conflict of the Ages' series of five books by Christian Author Ellen G. White
    (Authentic Seer/Prophet of God)…..
    "The Great Controversy between Christ and Satan" Ellen G.White, 1888, rev.1911

  8. One thing remains the same in any century – people will need oxygen, water, food not to mention the ability to process/recycle their waste and none of these places have those resources in usable quantity.

  9. In the short term, I think this is correct. Technically, it will be difficult or impossible for settlements to be built on other planets or the moon. And why would we ever want to live in places like that. Research is a great thing, but quite a bit can be done with robots, a far safer and less expensive way to explore. I do hope we visit the moon again soon. Robots should do the rest, at least for now.

  12. So much for Hollywood. If there isn't enough air to breathe on other planets, no colonization is possible. A hole in a space suit sounds too risky. We ought to find ways to clean up the air right here on earth. Space movies are full of it!

  15. One thing I really hate is framing exploration as "looking for signs of life" because there almost certainly is no life to be found in our solar system.

    I think space habitats like O'Neill Cylinders are the future of humanity. The fate of most objects in the solar system is to be gobbled up in their construction. We may even resort to star lifting to get more material for fusion reactors to use as fuel and for the aforementioned construction material.

  19. “And I’m not just referring to exploring planetary systems of other stars, whose distances are, and forever will be, absolutely insurmountable, regardless of our technological capabilities.” That is a hilariously ridiculous statement. When technologies people of two hundred years ago would have considered magic are now routinely found under Christmas trees, it requires an act of indefensible hubris to proclaim all interstellar exploration “forever….insurmountable.” And particularly coming from a scientist…someone who really ought to know better. Exploration beyond our solar system is very difficult, of course, and maybe it is impossible. But I don’t know that for a fact, and no one else does either.

  20. I would love to give man another thousand years to colonize the solar system. Too bad man is trying hard to wipe himself off the face of the Earth. If it isn't a nuclear threat, it's blindly going about his business polluting our world. The consequence sre growing natural disasters.
