The Destiny Plan: Colonization of Space

摘要

In order to extract dense energy resources off the Moon to support the Earth's increasing power demands, a theoretical design of a space colony is developed. The objective of this work is to discover how we can build a habitat in orbital space based on our current and projected technology, that is self sustaining, can grow in physical size, and provides a unique life to its inhabitants. The outcome of this design is an array of solar panels in geosynchronous orbit around the Earth and a colony tethered to the Moon.
