...rate, and gravity also makes normal activities possible. Nobody ould ant to live for long in a space settlement here everything people and equipment and the eggs they ere trying to fry moved eightlessly around. ith gravity, life in space can be based on our experience on Earth. e can have farming and factories and houses and meeting-places that are not designed by guessork. The need for gravity is one of the reasons for building a space colony, rather than sending settlers to an existing location such as the Moon or the planets. The Moon is inhospitable. Its gravity is tiny and any place on the Moon has 14 days of sunlight folloed by 14 of night, itch makes agriculture impossible. In the settlement, hich floats in permanent sunlight, the day-length is controlled. A gigantic mirror about a mile in diameter floats eightlessly above the ring of the settlement. It reflects sunlight on to smaller mirrors that direct it into the ring, through shutters that fix the day length.The sunlight is constant during the daytime, so farming is productive to an extent hich can be reached on Earth only occasionally. The aim is to provide a diet similar to that on Earth, but ith less fresh meat.The farms ill be arranged in terraces ith fish ponds and rice paddies in transparent tanks on the top layer heat belo vegetables, soya, and maize belo that.The population of the settlement is fixed at about 20,000 people farm output can be accurately planned. Research reports suggest that about 44 square metres of vegetables ill be needed for each person, and just over five square metres of pastures.The picture here shos here the people ill live. It doesnt look very different from the modern small tons on Earth, and this is deliberate. Science-fiction films feature vast glass toer blocks and subterranean arrens, but real-life space settlers ont ant these. Throughout history, settlers have tried to put up buildings like the ones they left behind, because these are familiar space settlers ill do the same.And here ould the settlement be hy, say the experts, at L5, of course. This reference describes a point on the Moons orbit around the Earth, equidistant from Moon and Earth, here the gravitational forces of the to bodies balance. The L stands for Lagrange, a French mathematician ho listed a number of balance points. Those ho are interested to settle in space have formed an L5 Societyare you interestedLiviu Burlacu 11D. !cf6CJOJaQJa6CJOJaQJa6CJOJaQJaCJCJ6CJOJaQJa6CJCJOJ
