"Life on Earth is at the ever-increasing risk of being wiped out by
out by a disaster such as sudden global warming, nuclear war, a genetically engineered virus or other dangers ... I think the human race has no future if it doesn't go into space," has said Stephen Hawking, world-celebrated expert on the cosmological theories of gravity and black holes.

What could a space colony look like? One possible idea goes as far
far back as the 1920s. Austro-Hungarian rocket pioneer Herman Potočnik imagined a circular spacecraft 
that rotates
to create artificial
gravity while
a large, concave
mirror could focus
sunlight for an
energy source.

Dr Al Globus, a contractor for the Nasa Ames Research Centre in California,
Centre in California, says humanity could soon begin to build space settlements. A space settlement would be a large structure like a town or city that would house hundreds or thousands of people. Popular concepts for them involve large rotating structures. These would have artificial gravity on the parts that are rotating.

Other experts favour the idea of setting up home on firmer ground –
ground – a planet or moon – creating an artificial “biosphere” with all the necessary elements for human life to thrive.

The Moon is the best place for humans to colonise first

The Moon is the best place for humans to colonise first – as
– as it is close by and relatively easy to reach.  It could provide a base to travel further into the Solar System with Mars an "obvious" next target.

Mars has also become a main focus of attention. Its surface conditions and
conditions and the presence of water on Mars make it arguably the most hospitable of the planets in the Solar System.

How would we cope with life in space? There are a number of

The cost of getting to space via rockets must decrease.
Life support; a future space colony will need to be almost self-sufficient, using indoor farms and solar energy.
A colony will also need radiation shielding to protect it from harmful cosmic and solar rays.
