As Astroscientists, we are going to challenge that claim.]]> 2017-08-13 03:57:08 UTC https://padlet.com/len_halprin/pe5by214h5rv/wish/180820817 len_halprin https://padlet.com/len_halprin/pe5by214h5rv/wish/180820818 The background image is a 1970s proposal for a large, man-made, slowly-rotating colony located at the L-5 point in space, complete with gardens, trees and rivers, and capable of supporting thousands of inhabitants.]]> 2017-08-13 03:57:08 UTC https://padlet.com/len_halprin/pe5by214h5rv/wish/180820818 https://padlet.com/len_halprin/pe5by214h5rv/wish/181164975 There is a possibility of a planet B through a floating rounded object that makes its own gravity. Scientists have discussed plans for such an idea, but there has been no development for a varity of reasons. We propose a very similar idea as these designs suggest. Making this idea a reality would have to get funding and awareness in order for people in power to invest money in this ]]> 2017-08-15 22:51:09 UTC https://padlet.com/len_halprin/pe5by214h5rv/wish/181164975 https://padlet.com/len_halprin/pe5by214h5rv/wish/181165405 In order for life to successfully survive on this new drone like object it would need the basics needs of the human race which include food, water, oxygen, gravity etc. They would also need a purpose for the humans living on the new planet such as jobs and research. They must also need to condition the human that would live on the drone so that they are used to the bend as well as not being on a stable planet.]]> 2017-08-15 22:57:36 UTC https://padlet.com/len_halprin/pe5by214h5rv/wish/181165405 https://padlet.com/len_halprin/pe5by214h5rv/wish/181165512 2017-08-15 22:59:44 UTC https://padlet.com/len_halprin/pe5by214h5rv/wish/181165512 https://padlet.com/len_halprin/pe5by214h5rv/wish/181165617 2017-08-15 23:01:03 UTC https://padlet.com/len_halprin/pe5by214h5rv/wish/181165617 https://padlet.com/len_halprin/pe5by214h5rv/wish/181165629 2017-08-15 23:01:09 UTC https://padlet.com/len_halprin/pe5by214h5rv/wish/181165629 https://padlet.com/len_halprin/pe5by214h5rv/wish/181165639 There is chance that we can pull such an idea off, but the best way to do that is through awareness.

It would have to have support from all around the world and come together as a human race to create this. We have found that the main considerations that we would have are the time and resources it would take for this to happen. It would be very difficult but there are many benefits.
