Synthetic Life

The Moon may one day be colonized and grow to be covered in domes and bases spanning the entire once-barren surface, a single mega-city sprawling not just over the surface, but deep below too.

Moon: Mega City

In the future we will build outposts and bases in space and on distant worlds, but what if we could make it so they built themselves instead?

Self-Growing Habitats & Space Bases

Every known planet, moon, and asteroid in our solar system occupies a volume of space both enormous and yet tiny compared to the vast empty gulf between stars. But interstellar space isn't truly empty and may one day be home to countless billions of isolated deep space habitats.

Deep Space Habitats

Saturn's Moon Titan captures our attention as a future colony, but might the majestic rings of Saturn and other planetary rings be better places to transplant life, and could life arise naturally among those orbital icefields?

Is Uplifting Ethical?

For us to live and build communities in space we will need law and order, but who will make the rules, what should they be, and what sheriff will see that the law is enforced?
