When asked how his Earth equatorial orbital settlement would economically survive, we talked about dependence and independence from Earth, plus Al put forth his condo model for revenue generation. He also said it was best to start space settlement close by and with a small project. Al fielded several listener phone calls and emails about space settlement and this particular orbit so if this topic interests you, don't miss any of our discussion.Īl said we were not yet ready for space settlement as we needed to develop new technologies plus policies. You can follow his published papers on the subject at his space settlement website. Al has talked about this special orbit before, about 500 KM above Earth, but he has recently revised papers with more data which is pending publication. See We welcomed back Al Globus for this 2 hour 3 minute discussion regarding the very low radiation Earth equatorial orbit suitable for an initial space settlement to start the process of space settlement.
