What will happen after the
International Space Station? Many companies and other countries are
planning their own free flying space stations for lot of new business
and research opportunities. What does the future hold?
We are at an exciting threshold for
the
development and deployment of private space stations and more advanced
designs from various countries. This trend shows how quickly space
technologies are developing.
The advancements in cheaper rockets to carry more payloads into
Earth’s orbit in a less costly manner is another trend which
is
supporting the development of these new space stations and space
transportation options.
The last few years a lot of companies and governments are making plans
to develop and deploy a variety of space stations and moon bases. This
seems like to good time to update everyone with what are these latest
plans, space technologies, transportation options and more.
I’ve tried to include all I could find on new space
technologies and plans relevant to working and living in space.
I grew up in the nineteen sixties when the Space Race with the Russians
was just starting. Walking to elementary school with my friends we used
to pretend we were the Mercury Astronauts.
Later in the nineteen eighties I worked at the Johnson Space Center and
with Contractors for a couple of years. I even applied to the Astronaut
program once. So I love Space Travel.
This led me to write my first book on Space in 2017 titled
“Designing and Building Space Colonies” along with
another
ten space related books later on.
