Colonising other planets and living on them, is it possible? When is going to happen? Where are we going to live? The answers to these questions, and more, you are going to see in today’s issue of the science magazine 7 Reasons Why: A journey to the stars.

Living in space colonies! Is it possible?

Loading...

This topic has been popular, among the entertainment industry, for decades. The space colonisations have been a plot not for one end two movies and books. For so long, this topic has been just a part of the fantasy world but now is becoming more and more food for thought for scientists.

There are lots of news stories, articles, blogs and posts about the possibility of humans colonising other planets, Mars in particular. The possibility of living on other planets is being highly considered lately. Even NASA has been working on this for quite a while.

Colonising other planets and living on them

Not happening

In my opinion, though, living outside Earth is impossible. I think that way because it seems very unrealistic. Sure, scientists have found Earth-like planets, where we can think that is possible to live but they are far far away. Unfortunately, we don’t have that kind of developed equipment to travel to these planets. Looking at our surroundings, stars systems, galaxies, etc. there aren’t any options for a new home.

The harsh reality

In conclusion, even though we live in the 21st century, the century of technologies, I highly doubt that we are going to live on another planet any time soon. The problem with this is not only the lack of highly technological equipment but also with the setting and the conditions of the planets themselves.

The time was fast approaching when Earth, like all mothers, must say farewell to her children.

SPACE IS COMPLETELY SILENT

There is no atmosphere in space, which means that sound has no medium or way to travel to be heard.

II. A doomed reality

- Stiliana Kirilova

Not a great plan

Many people are wondering if we will be able to live in space in the future. The idea of living in space is very ambitious and is widely discussed in the modern world. There are many news stories about the possibility of humans colonizing space, and apparently NASA has been working on it for a long time. But is it a good idea to live in space or not? I don't think living there is a good idea for several reasons.

The human body

To start with, it will be difficult to survive there. Under conditions of weightlessness, the human body enlarges, while bones and muscles become stunted if no effort is made to load them. Also, many astronauts suffer from eye problems. This is because our vision is very sensitive to the fine dust that is in space, and thus one can be blinded by vague perceptions there.
