Cosmic Space Opera anyone?

Speaking of Space -- O'neill Cylinders ... Why can't this be done?  The O'Neill cylinder (also called an O'Neill colony) is a space settlement concept proposed by American physicist Gerard K. O'Neill in his 1976 book The High Frontier: Human Colonies in Space.[1] O'Neill proposed the colonization of space for the 21st century, using materials extracted from the Moon and later from asteroids.[2]


Private Space Flight -- n the 2000s, entrepreneurs began designing—and by the 2010s, deploying—space systems competitive to the national-monopoly governmental systems[1][2] of the early decades of the space age.[3][4]:7 These new offerings have brought about significant market competition in space launch services after 2010 that had not been present previously.

Private spaceflight accomplishments to date include flying suborbital spaceplanes (SpaceShipOne and SpaceShipTwo), launching orbital rockets, flying two orbital expandable test modules (Genesis I and II), and the successful development by SpaceX of first-stage orbital launch vehicles that are able to vertically land after a launch so as to enable reuse. The most powerful rocket in operation as of 2018, the Falcon Heavy, was privately developed. --   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Private_spaceflight


And here is the Kicker -- We only NEED SALT WATER for the fuel -- the Ocean will provide the ENERGY to make the LIQUID FUEL -- Sea Dragon Rocket -- The Sea Dragon was a 1962 conceptualized design study for a two-stage sea-launched orbital super heavy-lift launch vehicle. The project was led by Robert Truax while working at Aerojet, one of a number of designs he created that were to be launched by floating the rocket in the ocean. Although there was some interest at both NASA and Todd Shipyards, the project was not implemented. At the massive dimensions of 150 m (490 ft) long and 23 m (75 ft) in diameter, Sea Dragon would have been the largest rocket ever built. As of 2018, among rockets that have been fully conceived, it is by far the largest ever and, in terms of payload into low Earth orbit (LEO), rivaled only by the Interplanetary Transport System in its expendable configuration.

If we go to SEA and live hard we CAN DO THIS^ -- We can also have ANTARCTIC -- It is a GUN FREE ZONE after all. :confederateflag: :pirate_flag:  

Uranium can be mined -- Moreover, much of Canada, Greenland, Siberia and Antarctica are currently unexplored due to permafrost and may hold substantial undiscovered reserves. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_uranium_reserves 

During the early 1980s there was a brief debate in Australia on whether or not to allow mining on the mineral-rich continent.[14] Several mining proposals have been discussed and have all been rejected.[15]
