Living on Other Planets
Introduction:
* How would facilities function * How would they get supplies * How would people get to the locations

The focus of colonization is a topic that has brought up several debates on how it could be possible. But, the first step towards that effort is to find a reason to migrate ourselves to other planets. Different minerals and precious metals from the surfaces of alien celestials are vital to the importance of any specific colonization effort. The industrial implications of a solid core of functional work environment for employees and civilian presences populating the platforms are essential.
Facilities will consist of domed structures contained a self-sustained atmosphere and environment. Simulated weather for each of the seasons as well as integrated day and night cycles would keep the habitants on a routine familiar to them of our own home planet. This would include housing opportunities for employees to bring their families while honoring their agreed upon contract terms. Each Dome is specifically engineered and conditioned for their celestial home. There in, being resistant to the unique external environmental issues that would come from any given body’s location.
Initial supplies for the project will be flown in prior to the colonization by unmanned crafted and landed carefully on the alien surface. Pioneer crews will depart with the final shipment and begin assembly of the primary dome structure. Once the facility is in place interior landscaping would take place and foundations built for every commodity of the colony. Both thermal and natural gas power plants will be built to provide continues and renewable energy for the facilities. Once the final touches are placed on the compound, teams assigned to specific functions of the facility will be placed in a cryogenically frozen coma for the trip depending on the estimated time of arrival to any of our locations. The crew of the transport will be placed on a predetermined wake cycle so that there can be a manned presence on the ship during transport. One day before arrival the population of the transport will be woken so that they can go the proper inoculations processes before arrival to the surface. Livestock, edible vegetation, extra soil and any additional needs of the colony would be shipped in concurrence with the final preparation teams. After the successful integration of the facilities and its support teams are in place employee’s families who have committed to a permanent contract with the company will be shipped out. These accommodations for a civilian presence in the outposts are made specifically for families to maintain a standard of living equivalent to the life they left home on Earth. Each family member will be offered roles in the colony including but not limited to: school teachers, retail services, entertainment services and many more other opportunities. Additional supplies will be sent until the facility reaches a state of self-sustainment. A consistent flow of personnel would continue back and forth for employees who have signed limited contracts to replace fulfilled terms. This along with transportation of planetary extracted product to the home world Earth will be regularly implemented for the purpose of expansion into the areas of future colonization on other celestial bodies with our current reach.

Impact Social Structure/Economy: Colonization Facilities * Social Infrastructure – Board of Directors – Management Structure * Law Enforcement – Private security Based, Military style rank structure * Retail Services – Food, Clothes, Entertainment – Focused Necessities * Currency – Credits purchased or earned on site. – Card, Retinal Scan, Finger Print, Voice Recognition.
With any thriving society a level of order and governance will be in place so that the facilities can function with the familiarity of the Home planet. A board of directors will be assigned by the company to oversee the management of the colony. These individuals are carefully selected for their social, scientific, environmental expertise. Their main focus is to ensure a high standard and quality of life for the employees and their families who are contracted to the facility. A careful checks and balances system of governing will be put in place so that no single individual would be able to supersede another.
Each assigned official will preside over their area of expertise and be responsible for maintaining in overall necessary functions of their specific fields. If for some reason an assigned official could not fulfill their duties or have been compromised in any way a vote would take place by the facilities overall committee on whom their successor would be. The committee will be comprised of senior management officials who specialize in the department of the former board member’s field.
As for security, an initial regiment of private security officers will be assigned to each facility and be bound by a provisional constitution based set of laws, afforded the right to act in a manner fitting to situations that may arise within the facility. Company based security will maintain a civil and friendly approach and provide a level of safety for all colonists. Surveillance and monitoring of the facility’s would be done with a minimal visual presence by officers and maintain the rights of privacy of all employees. The same procedure for electing replacement officials will be afforded to this department of the facility and be open to public inquiry of the residing colonist.
The colony will be afforded all of the same luxuries a normal city would have on the home planet Earth. Anywhere from restaurants, movie theaters, social centers, parks, gyms, and many more other commodities that living an average lifestyle would include. Employees for these amenities would be taken from the general population of the residing families of contracted employees. However, most facilities within the dome designed for any sort of recreation will have automated attendance. Monetization will be in the form of pre-approved crediting upon the initial contract bonus of the employee. This will also include bi-weekly wages for each employee and an allowance afforded to permanent contracted employees’ families. Credit can be used for any commodity offered within the habitat. Verification of credited accounts will be done through fingerprint recondition. While higher level purchases may be verified by voice or retinal verification methods. All commodities will have a fixed rate in which follows the predetermined pricing of any individual product and appropriate cost of living within the habitat.
Purpose: Expansion & Colonization of foreign celestial bodies. * Terraforming, Exploration, Scientific Expansion, Advance Machinery

One of our main advantages after sending the first couple hundred people to start colonizing would be that they can start researching any of the planets soils, gases and air to help the atmosphere become better suited for future colonies living conditions so that they can be more adaptable to the Earth’s biosphere we currently live in. To terraform the planet would great increase the population as humans could populate and build outside of the original dome structures. With this, planetary engineering can commence to further advance existing technologies and accommodate them or influence them to the global properties of said planet. Using modern technology, the inhabitants now would be able to predict climate changes and begin to adjust what they need to adjust to help with better living conditions.
Detailed crews and scientists would be sent on exploration missions to research all possible life on planet, from plants to bacteria that could someday help cure known deceases. They will also help shape what the planet has on its surface to create a form of map to help future explorers or colonies be better prepared for the journey and establish what they are working to accomplish. Areas deemed safe would consist of specified personnel to check for anything that can cause any potential harm in any form of living creatures, gas or bacteria with also finding resources such as water and form of soil to grow plants which will be marked with a special beacon to show the areas. Explorers will also look for any sign of intelligent life of existing or past beings that could help explain the planets history and how long it has been alive.
Scientists that where sent will have the duty to explore and search for any sort of artifact and help source what one day could be a new source of hydration for the human race. They will be in charge of conducting tests to organisms to search for any possible diseases that can affect the human race and also possible cures for diseases we already have at the moment. Studies will be conducted on the humans staying there and working to insure that they are up to health and see what changes their bodies make to adapt to the planet. Also they will be in charge of conducting tests on food that had been taken from earth to there and see what can be grown using the nutrients as well as not using a direct source of sun light like we do here on Earth.
Advance machinery might be needed depending on the atmosphere that is at the planet. New machinery might have to be made to accommodate the work force and gravitational hold that can cause problems in maintaining objects in place or moving them from one place to another. Normal Earth machinery normally uses a combustion engine that uses oxygen but on this planet, they might need to be sourced to a new type of fuel and even full electrical form of a solar power to compensate for the lack of fuel/oxygen. But, because of the lack of resources, newer, stronger and even more efficient machines could come out of this and even be created to help out back on Earth. Technology is always advancing and people always find a way of making ends happen but it all takes time in which there will be lots for the humans there to find new amazing ways of living and to adapt accordingly
