WELCOME TO MANKIND'S NEW HOME IN SPACE.
WHERE
Lifeboat Foundation has started to design a habitat in space for humans, in the event that earth is destroyed. The design below is of a colony which will be all self-sustaining.
WHAT'S IT LIKE INSIDE?
Well, the obvious question is what will keep our feet on the ground since there is no gravity there. The plan is to have a donut-shaped object rotate, and use it centrifugal force as artificial gravity.
HOW TO GET THERE
Rocket planes like this one are deemed safe, comfortable, ultra fast and relatively inexpensive.
THE COMPOUND
Of course one cannot fly unless you first go to the airport. Already there are plans to build Ras Al Khaimah Spaceport in the United Arab Emirates, and the Singapore Spaceport in… yes…Singapore.
ELEVATOR OR STAIRS?
An Elevator from the earth into Space? There are talks of this, but it'll probably not happen because of the obvious potential disaster if one of the cables should suddenly snap.
