The downside is that 5 years isn't really long enough for all of the above, but it could make for a good start. We can do experiments in long-term survival/self-sufficiency but still be close enough for rescue if needed, at least in theory. When we learn to mine/refine stuff from asteroids (including volatiles like water and gases) we can start working on micro-gravity manufacturing of structural components for habitats.ģ) Return to Moon - Yes, it's a gravity well, but not as much a one as Earth. It will be easier to supply miners/colonies working on that if you raise food/recycle air in orbit rather than in a gravity well. 1) Long term habitations - that would include centrifugal "gravity" and the orbital "manufacturing" can be greenhouses producing food and turning CO 2 back into O 2 because long-term production of such essentials will be what allows human colonization of space, not factories dependent on shipment of food from inside a gravity well.Ģ) Near Earth asteroids, with an eye towards mining.
