Welcome to solarcolonies
This website is dedicated to creating realistic depictions of our near future among the planets, How we may live in those dreamt of days.
One day we will all have access to space travel, Many of us will call worlds now remote: Home. And when that day comes it will bring an explosion of diversity and a new golden age for us all. Some worlds beautiful others ugly, Some friendly others hostile, Some big some small, Some near some far. We will colonize them all and call them home, Many of us may never feel at home on earth and be at home on some other colony, And then we will assert ourselves in ways unknown. Far from the guiding hand of Earth our distant lands will develop alone and become vastly differant worlds that may someday return with hostility in mind, And as great Empires rise and fall even the mother world Earth will be overwhelmed and defeated by the forces of those who never have known a blue sky or green forest.
Colonies
Our remote descendants, safely arrayed on many worlds through the Solar System and beyond, will be unified by their common heritage, by their regard for their home planet, and by the knowledge that, whatever other life may be, the only humans in all the Universe come from Earth. They will gaze up and strain to find the blue dot in their skies. They will love it no less for its obscurity and fragility. They will marvel at how vulnerable the repository of all our potential once was, how perilous our infancy, how humble our beginnings, how many rivers we had to cross before we found our way. -CARL SAGAN
