3 Pronged Approach

People !!!! Does anyone agree with the idea of a US project
to build three 10,000 population (Island One size)
colonies before end of decade? One on surface of moon,
one on surface of Mars & one rotating in spaceon G.K.O'Neill
model. Why is this any greater challenge today than JFK's
~ 1961 goal to put men on moon & bring them back in that
decade? (given the advances in technologies in the 50 years)
To be safe my idea is to use rotating toroid shapes for moon
& Mars surface colonies to simulate full earth gravity.
Toriods would be supported by magnetic levitation.
I got impression G.K.O'Neill favored a Bernal Sphere shape
from his book while T.A.Heppenheimer favored the toroid
shape for the colony in space. On the space one I'd favor
locating adjacent a moon of Mars but open to idea of a NEA
location instead. Hallelujah Praise Spacesettlers !!!!! Ed S.

No apology required :-) Interesting ad, detailing methods to improve launch
capability!
