So, some people said Mars is the best one, some other Venus, some other The Moon and some other asteroids and such rocky things we can dig into to collect resources. The answer to this topic is now obvious : there’s no real answer; every answer can be good as long as it is justified. Nonetheless, I think it would be more dangerous to colonize and dig into some asteroids rather than planets, whatever. Mars apparently has less resources than Venus, but it doesn’t mean it’s a bad planet to colonize. Think about it, Mars could be the center of intellect meaning that it would be the center of education, art, science, research and other such things. Venus, however, might be more based on exploitation.
necroEDIT : Here is a list of possible planets and satellites (or else) to colonize:
- The Moon
- Venus
- Mars
- Asteroid Belt
a. Ceres - Jupiter’s Satellites
a. Ganymede
b. Callisto
c. Io
d. Europa - Saturn’s surrounding
a. Maybe its ring could be mined, exploited and replaced with an artificial ring
b. Titan
c. Enceladus - Uranus’ surroundings
a. Maybe its rings could be replaced with an artificial one, but I’m not sure if it’s suitable or not
b. Titania
c. Oberon
d. Umbriel
e. Ariel
f. Possibly Miranda, though it’s not very spherical. - Neptune’s surroundings
a. Maybe its ring
b. Triton - Kuiper Belt
a. Dwarf planets - Oort Cloud
a. Icy asteroids/objects
Then, there are the boundaries and the heliosphere to cross. Only then, will we be able to travel through the Milky Way. And maybe we will find something, or something may find us… .
This post is now wiki-editable, i.e. anyone can edit it. However, please make sure you only edit the necroEDIT part. Thanks and have fun! (gabeN)
