Page "Space colonization" Paragraph 3

Building colonies in space would require access to water, food, space, people, construction materials, energy, transportation, communications, life support, simulated gravity, radiation protection and capital investment.

It is likely the colonies would be located by proximity to the necessary physical resources.

The practice of space architecture seeks to transform spaceflight from a heroic test of human endurance to a normality within the bounds of comfortable experience.

As is true of other frontier opening endeavors, the capital investment necessary for space colonization would probably come from the state., an argument made by John Hickman and Neil deGrasse Tyson
