Human settlements possible between Mars and Jupiter by 2026, claims Finnish scientist - Republic World

The Finnish scientist said that the satellites would be around the dwarf planet Ceres, that lies nearly 325 million miles from Earth and added that “the  motivation is to have a settlement with artificial gravity that allows growth beyond Earth’s living area.” Most of the assumptions regarding future human settlements revolve around the moon or Mars owing to close proximity to the Earth

The Finnish scientist has predicted a disk-shaped habitat with thousands of cylindrical structures, each would house over 50,000 people

The residents, 15 years from now, according to Janhunen will be able to mine resources from Ceres 600 miles below the settlement and haul them back up using “space elevators”

“Because Ceres has low gravity and rotates relatively fast, the space elevator is feasible,” he added before noting that Ceres is the largest object in the asteroid belt and is also the best destination for settlements apart from Earth due to its nitrogen-rich atmosphere

This, according to the Finnish scientist, would allow humans to create more Earth-like conditions than the carbon dioxide-rich environment found in Mars
