In the 1970's, NASA Ames Research Center (ARC) conducted space colony summer studies on Bernal Spheres and Toroidal Colonies which could hold a population of up to 10,000 living in space, and on Cylindrical Colonies which could hold a population of 1,000,000...
This, of course, blossomed from the fertile imagination of Apollo-era scientists, who dreamed of propelling humanity space ward. Between the late 70's and 90's, the romance with a great rotating wheel in space, with skylight windows, vegetation, rivers and dwellings died. And so did those space colony dreams until we had the resources we needed to deploy humans on Mars, which may have once hosted life. With the dangers of overpopulation, resource scarcity and climate change looming, space settlement sounds less like science fiction every day and more like an imminent reality.
Come 2016, the space is open for businesses. We have very less technical hurdles along the path to reach our dream. With several democratizing and space commercialization talks held over the past years by the Federal Aviation Administration, we know that it’s not just about licensing lunar rights. With the permission of the FAA, the space is getting some new real estate. And perhaps lots and lots of exposure.
This spring, NASA tested a new type of space habitat that could one day house astronauts and space explorers. The Bigelow Expandable Activity Module, or BEAM, is a 10.5-by-13-foot space efficient plug-in play inflatable module designed for future deep space missions. The space habitat is designed to withstand solar and cosmic radiation, atomic oxygen, UV radiation, space debris and all other destructive factors that come into play in space. By 2025, Bigelow plans to begin a $12 billion project to set up bases on the lunar surface.
NASA’s Jeffrey Williams, along with Russian cosmonaut Oleg Skripochka became the first astronauts to step inside BEAM. Williams told flight controllers at Mission Control, Houston that BEAM looked pristine and said it was cold inside.

Most Exciting Hardware Startups In London
Technology is all about innovation. In order to create a technological innovation, it is essential to come up with a new idea with adequate scientific reasoning to back it up. However brilliant your idea might be, it will be useless if it can’t be implemented well with basic scientific understanding. On the other hand, even if an individual has great scientific skill, he cannot put it to use as long as he doesn’t have a good idea to support it. A combination of these two factors with proper implementation by a team of experts in the field results in a productive outcome. These hardware startups in the city of London have excelled in putting together all these skills and redefining innovation in terms of technology.

The Future Is Green! Nothing Is Faster Than Green Travel
We have got electric cars, smaller cars, and cars with a better gas mileage. What we haven’t seen yet is some kind of technological evolution with transportation. While, a lot of ‘technological’ fixes have been given little to some amount of attention, not all of them have gained repute for ushering in green revolution. Every day, engineers are taking a different route, designing more environmentally sustainable modes of transportation that may overturn long-held notions greener, efficient traveling. This year, we have some of the most radical modes of transportation, some of which may even take decades for their full implementation. Of course, they aren’t all flying saucers, but rather much exciting concepts that will encourage the transportation industry to reduce emissions we produce today.
