Re: Safe Two Hundred Person L5 Space Station This would be good to start building up space infrastructure. I can't see it as a prospect for residents. It says:
quote:
If SpaceX Starship reaches $30/kg, the first 200-person settlement could probably be built without space manufacturing. Each settler might need initial capital of∼$21M.
If I had $21 million I would not use it to live out my days in a flying tin can. I would miss my dogs and my walks on the beach. The big difference between this and an actual prison is that you don't pay millions of dollars to go to prison. When real space settlements are available at a reasonable price--and I can take my dogs--I will be ready to move.
