As Astroscientists, we are going to challenge that claim.]]> 2017-08-11 02:26:23 UTC https://padlet.com/len_halprin/rwoyblrg4e5d/wish/180689473 Early Ideas: L-5 Colony len_halprin https://padlet.com/len_halprin/rwoyblrg4e5d/wish/180712269 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.]]> 2017-08-11 08:28:08 UTC https://padlet.com/len_halprin/rwoyblrg4e5d/wish/180712269 What are the dangers of remaining exclusively on Earth? (Single point of failure argument) https://padlet.com/len_halprin/rwoyblrg4e5d/wish/180873861
We could die from 

pollution 

 the sun exploding and killing us all

global warming

We will all die

We need to be able to get there without dying first

We need to consider whether we can breathe or not

We need to consider if this place can hold a large amount of people 

We also need to consider if we can use the resources from that place and not have to get them from earth

We need to consider whether we can produce food on that ‘planet’

We need to be able to live on that planent 

We need to consider time zones and other dangerous lifeforms such as alliens and ella jonessssss

- the right resources to survive, air, the right amount of gravity, food water. ]]> 2017-08-20 22:39:26 UTC https://padlet.com/len_halprin/rwoyblrg4e5d/wish/181778128 https://padlet.com/len_halprin/rwoyblrg4e5d/wish/181778351 - Potentially we could survive somewhere else in the solar system, we would just need to either find a planet that could sustain life or we would have to change that planet to be able to sustain life, e.g we would need to plant trees or move animals there, etc. ]]> 2017-08-20 22:44:57 UTC https://padlet.com/len_halprin/rwoyblrg4e5d/wish/181778351
