mankind's dwellings will include habitats

throughout the Solar System.

• HABITATS:  Some human colonies will live in large, spinning cylinders constructed from "in situ" material from asteroids and comets.
• EARTH LIKE GRAVITY: Spinning cylinders will simulate g-force via centrifugal force along longitudinal axis.
• ENERGY SOURCE: Large, adjacent mirrors will reflect sunlight into habitats for plentiful energy.
• FRESH FOOD: Essential ingredients from Mother Earth will enable robust agricultures.
• SPENDING MONEY: Harvesting of space bound materials will enable a robust economy among the many habitats as well as Mother Earth
• POPULATIONS: Smaller habitats will easily house 10,000 people; larger habitats will provide comfortable quarters for well over 100,000.

Volume I: ASTEROIDAL

1.	HABITATS CAN ORBIT. Transform selected asteroids into orbiting habitats; i.e., "orbiters".  Compare orbits. NOTE: Background material: Orbit Elements, Inclination, and Omega, Orbit "Rolls"
2.	HABITATS CAN TRANSPORT.  As transporters, habitats can move large human populations throughout the Solar System; for example, to Mars orbit via a simple "semi-orbit", described in an associated TABLE.
3.	HABITATS CAN CYCLE BACK TO EARTH.  Refashion selected Near Earth Asteroids (NEAs) as resonant cyclers which rendezvous with Earth every 2 years. See two associated tables: I and II.
4.	HABITATS CAN CYCLE TO MARS:  TE coins term "Marsonance"; design Habitat's orbit to  routinely rendezvous with Mars due to well designed orbital "resonance". (See TABLE.)
5.	HABITATS CAN IMPORT RESOURCES FROM EARTH. To properly provision initial habitats, use "space elevator" to export many materials from Mother Earth to her children.
6.	HABITATS CAN TERRAFORM. For Earth-like environment, habitat transform processes include: 1)  import Earth soil for both minerals and microbes; 2) spin for gravity; 3) mirrors reflect sunlight for energy, etc.
7.	HABITATS CAN COMMUNICATE: Refashioned habitats can communicate all through the Solar System by deploying specialized comm capsules.
8.	SPACE TUG: Solar Orbits.  TE's Space Tug could help Space Habitats transition to different orbits around the Sun. Also, see "Ion Thrusters" and "Specific Impulse".
9.	NEW MOON: LAUNCHING ALPHA. (Leverage New Moon for a slightly smaller, slightly quicker Solar orbit.) Alpha could be a huge habitat, 60° ahead of Earth.  To build such a habitat, use Luna as a launch platform. See Alpha Launch Tables.
10.	FULL MOON AND BEYOND: LAUNCH OMEGA.  (Leverage Full Moon for a slightly larger, slightly slower orbit around Sol.) Omega could be a huge habitat at Lagrange Point 5 (L5), 60° behind Earth. At 1 AU from Earth. See Omega Launch Tables
11.	EARTH's ELLIPTICITY Helps a Lot!!!  Earth's orbit is near circular, but it still has enough "eccentricity" for a habitat to more quickly attain a parking sport of 60° from Earth.
12.	LEVERAGING LAMBDA for Cyclers. Synergize Habitats Alpha and Omega with 2 year cycler orbits for enormous benefits.  Requires careful placement of lambda, semi-latis rectum.  See 2 YEAR CYCLER TABLE.
13.	HABITATS CAN MINE MINERALS from the Asteroid Belt, a plentiful source of materials required to construct and maintain habitats in space.
14.	HABITATS CAN EXTRACT ELEMENTS from the Gas Giants, a plentiful source of essential elements required to power habitats in deep space beyond the reach of effective sunlight.
15.	HABITATS CAN MIGRATE Initial habitats will orbit and cycle, but g-force propulsion will enable much quicker migration to the planets in days and to nearby stars in years.
