Thousands of people could live in space colonies orbiting the Earth in 20 years, expert claims | The Independent

'Thousands of people could be living in floating space colonies orbiting the Earth in 20 years’ time, according to the head of a project by the British Interplanetary Society (BIS). '

'Mr Stone said much would depend on private companies developing spacecraft that provided cheap and reliable access to space. '

'Speaking to The Independent, he said the space colonists would initially build and maintain solar panels that would be used to provide power on Earth. '

'The colonies would consist of a vast hollow cylinder, which would rotate to provide gravity for the people who would live on the inside. '

'They decided it would be better for them to float in space, rather than be attached to the Moon, for example. '
