Watch our discussed episode: What If We Lived in Space? - With Dr. Ronke Olabisi: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wse9SbJ0qOI

One day, we want to take humanity into space. But why don't we start small? Take one solar power station, 10,000 people, and 10 million tons of crumbled Moon rock, and you get a space habitat. A Stanford Torus. How would this habitat work? Who would be allowed to live there? And how would it help to reverse climate change on Earth?
