Scientists have proposed to colonize the satellite of Ceres

Many scientists and astronauts have noted the difficulties and dangers of attempting to colonize the Moon or Mars—both

In cases, the environment is extremely hostile.Many people in the field are promoting the idea of ​​building a structure large enough to house tens of thousands of people somewhere in space. But that would create its own set of problems. For example, paying for the construction of such a huge project and protecting residents from solar radiation, but what about ensuring gravity and where the structure will be located?

Janhunen suggests that Ceres would bean ideal place to place a structure that would make it a companion. He notes that such an orbit would be close enough to a dwarf planet and that a space elevator more than 1,000 km long could carry materials from the surface to a satellite for construction and resupply - Ceres has more than enough nitrogen, water and carbon dioxide to support such an enterprise.

Yanhunen also has plans for a satellitein the form of a plate. It will be over one and a half kilometers long and with thousands of interconnected cylindrical structures on the surface to accommodate people as well as provide space for other needs such as agriculture and recreation. A pair of giant solar-powered mirrors on either side of the moon will give the entire structure a clam-like shape. Janhunen expects to start with a population of 50,000. And he also believes that most of the moon could be built from material from the surface of Ceres. And gravity can be simulated by simply rotating the satellite at the desired speed.
