You can hear about future plans to make Mars colonized or establish a base on the moon, but these ideas are out of the first atmosphere of mankind. In fact, there are many serious and semi-serious space-colonized plans, which are not clearly out because there are no space colonies.
This is not to say that we will not see people living for at least some extended periods in places like Moon and Mars in this century, but it is interesting to see how optimistic we were in the past when we come to leave this yellow blue dot behind.

USAF’s SR183 lunar observatory study
Everyone knows that Neel Armstrong on the Surface of the Moon had inspired the space race that set foot to a large extent from the Cold War between the United States and the former USSR. What you may not know is that a part of the fear that removes the missions of these moon was that one of the superpower would install a military base on the lunar surface.
It is important to remember that the control of space programs and space flight development was not yet under the control of a civilian agency like NASA, but until 1958 there was a military concern when till 1958 Nasa act came into existence. Hence there was a military angle for every plan and idea. Project Horizon, which I will take down separately, was one of these proposed Lunar Base Projects, but also the US Air Force SR 183 lunar observatory study,
Published in 1960, shortly after NASA’s construction, the paper underlines and is able to bomb the surface of the Earth from the Moon, operated by personnel and bombing the surface of the Earth. Funny enough, the proposed target date for base operation was 1969, which is the year that NASA placed a person on the moon.
there was also Lunar campaign scheme Published after the year with the following objective:
The moon has been discovered with the moon’s first manned landing and return in the late 1967 as its objective as the lunar campaign. This an achievement is completed before the USSR, it will work to display that it has the ability to win future competition in nation technology. No one of this goal will give equal technical significance of space achievement, historical impact or the whole world.
For an alleged “cold” war, everyone felt that they were on fire! The irony is that there is no evidence that Soviet was also targeting for a uniform lunar base. At least, if they were, it is not closed if we know about American intelligence information. So when it comes to lunar bases, especially, the US government may probably be in a one-horse race without knowing it!

Project Horizon
While various branches of the armed forces all came up with their own space base ideas, the army’s project horizon deserves its discussion. Shortly after the formation of NASA, the plan was presented, and along with other military branches, the army was in competition to show that they could achieve men on the moon before NASA or other armed branches, so the target was for the first landing in 1965 and a 12-person in 1966.
By that time, the idea was a basis with armed soldiers in an underground base. This will include cylinders drowned in the moon surface, then covered in the lunar resolith to protect against radiation.
The base will use nuclear power, putting pressure on the living quarters so that soldiers can go about their day in regular clothes. The base intended to be partially self -sufficient, with water and waste repetition, air recycling and hydroponic plant cultivation. Aadhaar can be defended, it will have a communication system that can also work to spy on the USSR, and it lies that there may be nuclear weapons.

Mars forest
The Mars One Project was a private enterprise funded by a Dutch company, which declared in 2012 that it would be human on Mars by 2023. Apparently, this did not happen, and the company became bankrupt in 2019, but for some time looked some real hope.
Well, this is a matter of debate if Mars forest was ever a serious project, and it can be more like a reality TV practice, the way it all came out. In any way, the project was dead by 2019.
It is important to remember that it was one One-way journey. Which means that 200,000 early volunteers were signed up to leave the earth forever and possibly complete a sharp end if they ever make it on Mars. Finally, the total number of volunteers was dropped down to only 100 serious people, who then passed through astronaut training, but thankfully, the whole thing never came out of the ground.
The actual plan was not inappropriate on paper. First, there will be unmanned missions to leave the supply and robots that will take out a place to start the colony, and then reach four new Martians every two years, creating a gradual base. The idea was that all this was funded using money from reality TV content, which is documenting the whole thing, which I think it is severely underestimated how expensive this kind of thing would be.
In 2015, two MIT students worked carefully that the whole thing is that the whole thing was financially in a report which is no longer in the form of this writing on the MIT website, but you can still read about it in news articles like Commercial insiderWill it work with contemporary technology and adequate money? I think maybe not, but we will definitely never know!

Gerard in L5. O’Neel’s Space Undeavorship
It can be difficult to imagine today, but before humans successfully landed on the moon, there was real doubt that it could be done, and despite the best people in the world, Apollo mission may end in the disaster, with many opportunities to be wrong at every point of travel. After human legs, the lunar surface was actually touched, things changed. In the 1970s it was not about whether we could reach space, but how can we build on that achievement in the long term.
It is in this context that Professon Professor Gerrard. O’Neel carried forward the idea that we should not just visit space, but we should stay there. In 1974, he published his first paper at the title, titled was titled Colonization of space Where the good professor literally performed mathematics as to what would be necessary for houses in space where people could live.
The lagrange marks are sweet spots in space between large bodies with significant gravitational areas that allow to stay stable and stable for something like space habitat if any energy is required to maintain its position relative to those bodies. L5 is one of those stable points in the Earth-moon system, and so it is a good candidate to build an O’Neel-type habitat.
The most prestigious is the bitete design O’Nil Cylinder, also known as the “island 3” type colony. It is made from two large-scale counter-rotating cylinders, each 5–20 miles long. The rotation will provide artificial gravity, which is important for any permanent human housing. These colonies will be in the house between 10,000 and 1,000,000 people and will already be made from materials in space, such as asteroid, was taken from the surface of the Earth. It’s all In fact Think well, and I recommend anyone interested in the idea of ​​artificial houses in space. Of course, O’nell did all this theoretical work with the 70s knowledge and tachochaology, but even here there are many simple ideas.

Temporary city on Venus
When looking for a good place to keep the roots down in our solar system, Venus is probably close to the habit list. Initial interest in Venus was before the Soviet Venera investigation that brought back the difficult data about Venus, showing that it was worse than Australia’s outback.

Worse than Jacksonville.
However, by the 1970s, scientists felt that when the surface of Venus was completely inhuman for life like Earth, there were layers in the thick environment of the planet that were actually close to the Earth’s surface when talking about temperature and pressure. So why not make cities sitting at this level?
One of the first people to propose was Soviet engineer and science fiction writer Sergei Zitomirski, who described the concept of “Floating Islands of Venus”. This idea would not actually go beyond the day of the daydream for several decades, until 2013 when a paper was titled Colonization of Venus Jeffri A from NASA Glenn Research Center. Was published by Landis.
In paper he proposes:
The human exploration of Venus may be from aerostat vehicles in the atmosphere, and in the long term, permanent settlements can be made as cities designed to float at an altitude of about fifty kilometers in the atmosphere of Venus.
There is also an interesting conference paper titled Landis Settling Venus: A city in clouds?, This is the place from which the amazing concept artwork comes from.
So, who knows? With further privatization of progress in technology and further privatization of space exploration, you may have the option to book a holiday at a floating Venusian Hotel someday!
For all of human history, until the very last sliver of time, humans are trapped on earth. In this century, we will probably see humans more independent and more independent than the Earth, for a long time of time living in space. Whether we will collect or build other planets permanently. Halo-Style artificial housing is estimated by someone, but perhaps one of these early colonial ideas can still be. This is someone’s game at this point.
