And all over Canada is the media proudly showing off their latest bright up and comer, Eric Yam, from Nothern Secondary School in Toronto, Ontario.
Voila, a 92 page PDF file of ASTEN, the intergalactic settlement designed by Eric Yam. Going into quite a large amount of detail that I won’t get into in this post, it is definitely worth the read. Using the technologies that are currently available to us as both tried & tested and experimental, he shows the ways that this kind of settlement could work quite efficiently. Approximate time for building this settlement : 30 years. Approximate cost : $500 million USD+.
Let me know what you think!

I really liked this post. Can I copy it to my site? Thank you in advance.
Sure, go ahead, mainly got the info from NASA and the news anyways. Thanks for reading the post.
I think I will try to recommend this post to my friends and family, cuz it’s really helpful.
I liked you presentation on google. I would like to talk about your space station ideas some and see if they are scalable. As a pet project. As far as the bank goes, I think there should be a cosmos development bank that is authorized to back notes written on claimed mineral deposits that companies want to go out and mine. As well as large projects meant to help explore those deposits. Things such as orbital elevators, low orbit colonies, rail launchers, space planes, and conventional space launches.

I made a video about this, would you mind looking at it and maybe leaving a comment on what you think about it? (I left the url in the “website” box) thanks much!
