INTRODUCTION TO THE SPACE COLONY

Introduction
The mission for the development of the space settlement is based on the scientific research and development to expand the horizons of human mind to settle any where universally and to saw the seeds for next space era. For accomplishing this mission there should be initial support form government like Funding basic R&D, initial infrastructure, Legislation protecting private property rights in space, Government-sponsored insurance, Providing a guaranteed initial customer.
The station is also submitted to requirements of research and development, Science, Tourism, Manufacturing, Science – Astronomy ,Manufacturing – Medicine, Service – Agriculture, (supporting colonies with food, water resources),Likewise size may go from a couple of dozen researchers and their families to tens of thousands of families supporting a dozen factories,.
“Government will not be the entity making products and services in space”, except possibly a few products in the initial years. the private sector will take over once the initial startup costs and basic infrastructure are overcome. It is beyond the scope of this discussion to cite other examples of government initiated research and development (and joint ventures with government contractors) which became purely private sector realms of high profitability, e.g., communications satellites, internet, various energy technologies, but business readers and government program leaders may want to study some of those case histories.
The station must be able to repay the governments that invested in it. Therefore, the station must be an international spaceport and a tourist location. Space tourists can be a good source of money. Also assembling spacecraft and satellites can become an important source of money. The fuel needed to bring the rockets or satellites up to the station can be spared. Building spacecraft and satellites in the space station can be a good way to earn money and repay the governments. Another way to repay the governments will be scientifically. Astronomers will inhabit the station and great research can be made. A telescope like Hubble placed on the station can bring great science income.
Another advantage will be doing experiments in space, in conditions of zero gravity and perfect vacuum.
