Self-Sustaining Space Habitat Concepts

Blue Origin's Blue Moon Was Released in Washington, DC

— May 22, 2019 — Lifestyle
Blue Moon is a new concept for a self-sustaining space habitat and the proposal was released to the public at a private media event. The ambitious project was debuted by Blue Origin which is Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos' aerospace company. During the release, the start-up showcased some prototypes of a vessel, as well as some mesmerizing visuals of what a self-sustaining space habitat might look like.

The entire concept for Blue Moon is inspired by a 20th-century physicist who goes by the name of Gerard K. O’Neill. Like O'Neill, Bazos holds that "the surface of another planet would [not] be viable for a growing technological civilization," however that it could sustain humankind through "space cylinders that store architecture and greenery."
Trend Themes
1. Self-sustaining Space Habitats - Blue Origin has released a concept for self-sustaining space habitats, creating opportunities for innovation in space exploration and architecture.
2. Space Colonization - With the concept of self-sustaining space habitats, the possibility of colonizing other planets using self-contained structures presents an opportunity for innovation in sustainable living.
3. Aerospace Architecture - The design and construction of self-sustaining space habitats presents an opportunity for innovation in aerospace architecture as well as sustainable technology.
Industry Implications
1. Aerospace Industry - The aerospace industry can take advantage of the potential of self-sustaining space habitats, benefiting from investments in new materials, propulsion systems, and construction techniques.
2. Green Technology Industry - The development of self-sustaining space habitats will require innovations in renewable energy, water and waste management, and biological systems, hence the green tech industry can be involved.
3. Space Exploration Industry - Self-sustaining space habitats offer a new horizon of opportunities for innovation in space exploration, asteroid mining as well as human spaceflight programs.
