9 thoughts on “How Much Would It Cost To Live In Space?”

  1. Numbers from the NASA that wanted to send 400 tampons into space for the first female astronauts 10 day flight.

  2. The main point is the conversation is now in the realm of individuals. Until recently, the cost of living in space were only affordable by a taxed population. The many paid for the few or the one.

    1. You read my mind. If it’s being fully paid by taxpayers, then it doesn’t really cost anything to live in space, right?

  3. I notice the illustration shows the EU flag. On the one hand, the author seems like some kind of boob. On the other hand, he tricked some knuckle-headed editor into buying that crap, so I guess his business course wasn’t a waste.

  4. How much it costs to live in space, would related to how much money do make being in space.

    Or how much would land on Earth be worth, if from that land it took same rocket power to go to orbit, as does from Mars surface.

    It seems to me, that at some point, a trillion people will live in Venus orbit, because it’s cheaper than living on Earth. And it’s better than Earth, because Venus is hub of solar system.
    Or everyone seems to think if live in Space with access to far more energy than on Earth surface, people will have higher energy per captia. And it seems in Venus orbit people could use less energy per captia than people living on Earth.
    Some say sunlight is free energy on Earth surface- but it isn’t, but in Venus L-1, sunlight is free energy.
    And you living in 3-D environment rather 2-D. So places you want to go to, can shorter distance. And traveling per mile can faster and less energy used.

    The main thing Venus orbit lacks is water. And our solar system has a lot water. And it seems water in space will be large market, and water in venus orbit could become cheaper than water on Earth. If moving water by the billion/trillion ton it could cheap and highly profitable. And seems chemical rocket fuel in venus orbit could become cheaper than rocket fuel on Earth.
    But there isn’t a trillion people, but before there is 50 billion human population, Venus orbit could be cheap.

    1. Actually, orbit will remain mostly a 2D space. If we went 3D further than skyscrapers currently give us on Earth, only the layer closest to the sun would get any power/light. So I can’t see that being allowed in most cases.

      1. You got to realize how big L-1 is.
        You live in Earth L-1 [billions of people] and not block any sunlight reaching Earth. And area which does block Earth’s sunlight is big.

        So you have government/organization/rule that have
        trillion people in L-1 and have them only block 1/2 of the sunlight reaching Venus. Or planet Venus get same amount a sunlight as Earth.
        If Venus gets same amount of sunlight as Earth gets
        Venus will become colder than Earth.
        Of course everyone is moving in L-1, and at times the sun could be blocked, again, it’s organized or known, so make it so only 10 or 20% of time, or hour of time spread over 24 – 10 min at some time, 5 min at another time, so you get twice 1 AU sunlight and get it, say 90% and longest block of time ever is 1 hour per year.
        It seems battery power could handle it fairly easily- and it’s the price of living in high density community,
        but it’s far better then GEO of Earth.

  5. To avoid having to deal directly with international exchange rates, everyone working in space gets paid in Bitcoin Dogecoin.
