Abstract

Space colonization is the act of permanently achieving human habitation off planet Earth. This is an important consideration for Humanity’s future, as we continue to run out of space and resources on Earth, with an ever increasing population. Colonizing another planet would allow new places to live, as well as vast new resources available. A big consideration in attempting space colonization is the impact it would have on the colonists both their mental and physical health. This research project will test if it is ethically just to subject humans to the negative physical and psychological effects of space colonization. The end goal of the project is to determine if the benefits of colonizing space at this time out ways the many drawbacks and pitfalls.
