• Spacesettlers. "Space Settlers" is the group for people who think that space settlements - huge rotating orbital habitats, or space cities - are a better option for human colonization in space than planetary colonization and terraforming. If you agree with this idea, come and discuss with us the better ways to make it a reality someday. If you don't agree, come and expose what you think are the weak points of that idea. Everyone who thinks that space colonization is the next great step for Humanity is welcome! Join the email group.
