redshirt posted:Large spinning orbital ships are our only future in space. Very big ships, such that the spinning replicates gravity.  Once we figure out how to build large habitats at size with 1g, there is literally no reason to colonize any other planet (outside of mining and resource extraction). You could terraform Mars into a garden, but at 1/3rd gravity its just never gonna work with Earth-based life. building anything that size from earth is basically impossible. the moon is something like 24% aluminum, and space elevators + lifting lasers could launch something that big into orbit and maintain it. Aluminum also releases O2 during smelting.
