Post by: Stelio on June 14, 2014, 07:07:27 AM
-You will like to live in a space colony?
-If you say no, why?
-advantages or disadvantages?

Yes. Because it would be awesome.

No.

I like the ability to walk around without a heavy-ass spacesuit here on Earth, thank you very much.

@Cosmos, can't you see that the colony is isolated from outer space?

By the way, for the uninformed. You can see that the colony in the picture is ring-shaped. That is meant to spin and give you artificial weight. The more you know...

Isolated colony =/= Spacesuit not needed.

Also, a picture of a space colony does not mean that is the colony the Stelio is asking if people would want to live in.

if the colony is isolated you can add air in the pressure you want, so you don't need a goddamn space suit.

What about the g-force?

Anyway this is getting off topic. It depends greatly with where the colonies at and how it's built.

As I said, that colony will spin. So you'll have artificial weight.

Also, you don't need a spacesuit to float in space. Go see if any astronaut aboard the ISS is wearing a suit

The space colony is a ring or cylinder shaped craft either in deep space or orbiting another body.

It spins so that objects on the interior side of the structure experience centrifugal force. C-force makes you feel like ur xperiencing gravity. The faster the spin, the stronger the g-force.
