Space colonies, the earlier the better

   It's a part of common household talk to discuss about rains at any time of the year, summers breaking records each year of high temperatures, many cyclones, less crop productivity per square metre of land, unbreathable air in almost all major cities. I don't think that there's any need to put statistics to show that our environment is out of balance and no matter what we do now, we have crossed the point of no return. 

   The false dreams of EVs and other such means are more of marketing gimmicks than that of real impact on environment. Let's accept this thay the chain reaction started by human race in 19th century, won't be stopped no matter what efforts we put. So let's accept the fact that Earth won't be a sustainable habitable planet in near future, which presents the existential threat to humanity and all other species. While efforts to slow down the negative impacts on environment are in progress, it's time to work aggressively on increasing footprint of humanity to other parts of the Solar system and later outside of it. 

   Yes, it sounds like a part of science fiction novel but from submarine to smartphones, many things have been imagined before they have been invented. 

    To create a new colony is something which being thought as far from our capabilities currently. We first need to identify the planets/moons, then to send the resources we need powerful, economical and high capacity spacecrafts, before large colonies rhose rocks need to be made habitable. Apart from scientific challenges big problems will come from the fronts of social and political ideologies, that will be highly challenging. Psychological impact will be a big thing as well. 

    The problems are many but human race has to find the solutions soon, we need an alternate to the Earth as we have exploited this beautiful planet beyond limits. We now have two options, either we focus on space frontier or to be wiped out from existence. 

    The universe is so vast and we have not just reached to the next planet, I wish someday humans will be able to explore the galaxies, to see what universe has kept hidden from us, apart from us who are there in this galaxy and beyond. 

   I hope someday we can visit various galaxies and grand parents start the storked with the famous line of Star Wars movies, 'in the galaxy far far away' in real life. 

   This is my last post of 2023, will come back with some new perspective in 2024, till then whenever you look at the sky, just imagine that there's a lot to explore and we need to go to those places one day.
