Instead of colonising space (which is currently prohibitively expensive) and living on land (where niggers live), we should colonise Earth's atmosphere.

It could be a free-floating structure.

>we should colonise Earth's atmosphere
Very bad idea. Unlimited potential for disaster, aerial territory disputes, climate impact, but most importantly of all: why?
What we should is colonize the Venusian atmosphere:
>less gravity to pull a cloudcity down
>very dense atmosphere increases impulsion, stations can somewhat float if fitted with helium tanks
>space colony will always require protection from the Sun, but Mercury is too hot. Venusian station can collect solar power, generate windpower with turbines, absorb thermal power with long cables going down to nearer the surface
>can mine minerals from Venus
>can be used to set up satellites to monitor the Sun, closer than the ones we have
>fucking cloud city aesthetics
Cons:
>needs to be engineered to have many backup systems and quick evacuation plans
>can only have 2 or 3 cloud cities, since its best to leave them drifting around, minimising effects of storms and turbulence, while also avoiding collision with other cloudcities.
>there are literally no more pros other than "more room for humans" and a better vantage point to study the Sun

Floating city art is so comfy.
Good idea, Portubro. The Venusian atmosphere is certainly ripe for colonisation.

Very plausible idea for Venus.
No u google it

How fucking tall is that ferris wheel supposed to be. It'd take all damn day to go around it once.

The places in the solar system that make most sense colonizing:
Luna (Earth's Moon): as a spaceport only (launching spacecraft from the Moon is much cheaper due to lower gravity implying lower escape velocity)
Venusian atmosphere: spaceport, proximity to the Sun (valuable info regarding sunspot cycles), can deploy robots to mine volcanic minerals in the surface
Jupiter's moons: several have considerable mass, some are geologically active, can be colonized to mine the other moons. Greatest trove of any element in the solar system.
Saturn's moons: same reasons as Jupiter, also some Moons have atmospheres and even methane cycles or liquid water (possibly life). Best bet is Titan.
Eris: no colony, but should have unmanned entirely robotic and wireless outpost. Used as a wireless telescope to study the asteroid belts, the outer solar system, and as a relay station for trans neptunian probes and satellites
Mars: fuck no. No atmosphere, no magnetosphere, no geological activity, no landscape features, low gravity, nothing but iron oxide as far as the eye can see. Has the sole pro of having the largest mountain in the solar system and with the best name, Olympus Mons.

Mars actually isn't that bad to colonise if you do the colonising underground. Asteroids are too dangerous to colonise due to their lack of breathable atmosphere and low gravity, but are good for mining due to containing trillions of dollars worth of metals and minerals.

Yes, it is. It has low gravity. Humans cannot develop correctly or live for long periods of time in low g. You should read about the effects of exposure to non Earth conditions in the human body. That's why Titan is by far the best celestial body to colonize, its big(ish) and has an atmosphere.
>Asteroids are too dangerous to colonise due to their lack of breathable atmosphere and low gravity, but are good for mining due to containing trillions of dollars worth of metals and minerals.
'lack of breathable atmosphere' is a problem on every non Earth body. Asteroids are horrible candidates for colonization. They can and should be mined, not populated. The best minerals are likely in and around Jupiter, excluding Earth (which is the richest).
Mars is basically a large asteroid.

put superconducting magnets in geosynchronous orbits and build a dome over the valles marineris. use phobos as the counterweight for a space elevator. mars then becomes the jumping off point for exploration and settlement of the outer solar system.

all non whites should be drafted for space colonisation missions then cut off all contact with them. the cost of all these missions will be paid back by having an ethnoplanet

>as a spaceport only
So you spend the energy going from Earth orbit to the Moon and then spend more energy climbing out of that gravity well to achieve solar orbit?
>Mars
Mars is going to be a xenoarcheology and xenobiology gold rush.
Every space habitat is an engineered environment. Locate and build optimal systems.
