Space Settlement and Exploration All-In-One Solution: BLiSS Homestead

​
In lieu of constructing intricate and costly centralized infrastructures for megastructures like Stanford Torus space settlements, we propose reimagining bola and beaded space habitats. The vision is to create a modular, automated Bioregenerative Life Support System (BLiSS), that encompasses clean energy production. The "bead" houses a self-sustaining family farm, capable of being transported and adapted for use in different settings on Earth or in space. This BLiSS Homestead merges cutting-edge farming automation, disaster-proofing, aerospace technologies, and waste-to-energy and material converters. A dream home that facilitates thriving eco-responsibly for the family, anywhere!

Solution Overview

1, Waste to Energy Advancements:

  • Utilize existing Waste to Energy systems, calibrated to economically mass-produce Flash Graphene and Clean Hydrogen, from bioplastics, for eco-friendly and profitable applications across all economic sectors.
  • Completing the Circular Economy for bioplastics; adding Graphene to bioplastics makes them stronger, lighter, more recyclable and longer lasting.​


2. Perfect BLiSS Homestead Standard on Earth to Address the UN's Global Goals - Anywhere:

  • Develop and perfect the BLiSS Homestead Standard on Earth's surface, ensuring safety and efficacy.
  • No Poverty: Elevate everyone to at least a middle-class quality of life.
  • Zero Hunger: Abundantly produce nutritious food in the greenhouse.
  • Good Health and Well-Being: Promote a plant-based diet and regular exercise.
  • No Pandemics: Self-isolation becomes quick and easy for everyone, efficiently stopping the disease before it can spread.
  • Personalized Education: Empower individuals to find purposeful and fulfilling lives through our Values, Interests, Personality traits and Skills (VIPS) educational programme.
  • Clean Water and Sanitation: Employ advanced technologies for water purification.
  • Affordable and Clean Energy: Flash Graphene creates a strong foundation for both a Circular Economy and a Hydrogen Economy.


3. Versatile Applications:

  • Function as a normal homestead on a planetary surface.
  • Serve as safe space shuttles, thriving in case of marooning on an alien world.
  • Deploy in space, interconnecting to form a rotating ring space station, producing artificial gravity. The rings also interconnect to form O’Neill Cylinders.
  • ​An ideal customizable gift for first contact with an alien species, helping them to solve their own Global Goals.


Space Colonization and Megastructures

1. Dyson Swarm - A Vision for Billions:

  • All buildings on the inner surface of the Cylinder meet BLiSS Homestead Standards.
  • These standards ensure a reliable supply of necessities and zero pollution, reducing scarcity-based issues globally.
  • Dyson Swarm, comprising hundreds of thousands of cylinders, offers a safe living space for billions, allowing Earth to heal.











​
2. Adapting to Lower-Gravity Planets:
Modify the rotating cylinder concept to create artificial gravity on lower-gravity planets using swing carousel physics.

Anchor one end of an adapted O'Neill Cylinder to the surface of the planet. This rotating tower will create Earth-normal gravity.















Comparison with Existing Solutions

European Space Agency’s Melissa:

  • BLiSS Homestead produces a broader range of essentials.


University of Arizona’s Biosphere 2:

  • BLiSS Homestead leverages Biosphere 2's lessons into a compact, cost-effective and eco-friendly design suitable for mass deployment.


University of Guelph’s CESRF:

  • CESRF's expertise complements BLiSS Homestead, helping configure and calibrate the greenhouse.


NASA’s Environmental Control and Life Support Systems:

  • The technologies from NASA’s ALS integrate seamlessly into the BLiSS Homestead, forming a redundant life support system.



Conclusion

The BLiSS Homestead represents a transformative approach to space settlement and exploration, offering not just a dwelling but an entire sustainable ecosystem. This vision encompasses the dreams of space exploration, colonization, and the co-evolution of a future where prosperity is universal. Through ingenious engineering, renewable resources, and interconnected habitats, we aim to propel humanity towards a thriving existence—both on Earth and among the stars.
