Such stations would offer vastly more living space than is available on all the planetary surfaces in the solar system, and he therefore concluded that they would provide better locations for an expanding interplanetary civilisation in a repudiation of what Isaac Asimov jokingly referred to as the \u201cplanetary chauvinism\u201d of science fiction.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><em>O\u2019Neill published a book entitled The High Frontier, which fleshed out his ideas, and lent his support to a NASA study that investigated the practicability of building such a habitat. He was reasonably well known at the time, having been interviewed on television about his ideas, but despite his immense influence in the space community he has since been largely forgotten by the broader public. His concepts enjoyed a brief popularity but then fell out of favour both because of political attacks from critics who disliked the idea of NASA spending money on such things, and because of the growing understanding that the Space Shuttle was never going to provide the cheap, regular access to space that such a project would require.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>** Living in Space<\/strong> &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@SpaceRenaissance\">Space Renaissance<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><em>Join Joseph Pelton, Adriano Autino, Tommaso Sgobba, Robert Zubrin, Simonetta di Pippo, Madhu Thangavelu, Henk Rogers, Gary Barnhard, Pascalle Efrenfreund, Susan Jewell, discussing about Living in Space.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Living in Space\" width=\"1600\" height=\"900\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/NEozO4nfdxs?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><strong>=== Other space habitat and settlement news and articles:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Calendar:\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/us06web.zoom.us\/meeting\/register\/kznKuyHCRyKi8_j00JBd_g#\/registration\">ARISS Informational Webinar<\/a>, Jan 22, 2025 08:00 pm ET. &#8221; <em>The Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) Program is seeking formal and informal education institutions and organizations, individually or working together, to host an Amateur Radio contact with a crew member on board the ISS.\u00a0 ARISS anticipates that the contact would be held between <strong>July 1, 2025<\/strong> and <strong>December 31, 2025<\/strong>.<\/em>&#8220;<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tickettailor.com\/events\/beyondearthinstitute\/1540593\">Exploring the Potential of Lunar Helium-3 Mining | Beyond Earth Institute<\/a> &#8211; Zoom event &#8211; Thu Feb 6, 2025 1:00 PM &#8211; 2:30 PM EST<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0ISS:\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/missions\/station\/iss-research\/peak-performance-in-microgravity\/\">Peak Performance in Microgravity | NASA &#8211; Jan.17.2025<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/image-article\/los-angeles-fires-seen-from-international-space-station\/\">Los Angeles Fires Seen from International Space Station | NASA &#8211; Jan.10.2025<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ariss.org\/\">Amateur Radio on ISS (ARISS)<\/a>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ariss.org\/current-status-of-iss-stations.html\">Status ISS Stations<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/live.ariss.org\/\">Livestream <\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/mission\/gateway\/\">NASA Gateway Lunar Space Station<\/a>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/europeanspaceflight.com\/airbus-delivers-key-system-for-nasas-gateway-space-station\/\">Airbus Delivers Key System for NASA&#8217;s Gateway Space Station | European Spaceflight &#8211; Jan.7.2025<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0China:\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.leonarddavid.com\/china-space-station-experiments-pipe-inspection-robot-music-and-brainwave-intervention-emergency-drill\/\">China Space Station Experiments: Pipe Inspection Robot, Music and Brainwave Intervention, Emergency Drill | Leonard David &#8211; Jan.12.2025<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>Habitat &amp; settlement technologies:\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.marssociety.org\/news\/2025\/01\/13\/be-part-of-it-mtis-mars-against-hunger-competition\/\">Be Part of It!
