Journey into the Cosmos
Man in Space and the Possibility of Adaptation
Episode Synopsis
The Noos spaceship embarks on a surprising journey into the future today: reporter AstroPiero gives us the opportunity to discover what some of NASA's projects might look like if they were realized. First and foremost, a lunar base: a home on the moon to house astronauts and scientific equipment. But there's also another point in space, just a few hours' travel from Earth, where large orbiting stations could be built, complete with living quarters and laboratories. From these, spacecraft could be launched to reach satellites or devices in orbit, such as massive solar power plants that convert solar energy into electricity. And there are also space colonies, designed to house 2 million people: enormous cylinders 25 kilometers long and 6 kilometers in diameter that rotate, thus creating artificial gravity within themselves.
