Space colonization , also called space settlement and space humanization , is the hypothetical permanent autonomous ( self-sufficient ) human habitation of locations outside Earth . It is a major theme in science fiction . While most people think of space colonies on the Moon or Mars, others argue that the first colonies will be in orbit. Several design groups at NASA and elsewhere have examined the feasibility of various schemes. They have determined that there are ample quantities of all the necessary materials on the Moon and Near Earth Asteroids, that solar energy is readily available in very large quantities, and that no new scientific breakthroughs are necessary, although a great deal of engineering would be required.

Space colonization , also called Space settlement refers to the idea/possibility/necessity of building artificial environments in space outside Earth to be inhabited permanently by humans. Because humans cannot live self-sufficiently, other species would have to be able to live in the habitats as well.
