Are we going to be living in space in the next 50 years?
We have now been going into space for 50 years. The most we have managed is a tiny space station with room for a few people at a time. The cost of lifting people and materials into space is enormous. The difficulties of living in space over an extended period are extremely challenging. It’s unlikely that we’ll ever have a significant presence beyond this planet. We better start taking better care of it.
