While there is enthusiasm for living in space, there is still much that is unknown, particularly regarding the human experience in future settlements. Research on closed-loop ecologies and space medicine is crucial, as well as understanding the radiation risks and physical effects of living on Mars or the Moon. Additionally, the legal framework governing space exploration needs to be updated to ensure the protection of human rights. Despite the challenges, there is a path forward, and investing in research and creating a peaceful and sustainable future in space is essential.
