[QUOTE="taykair, post: 169653, member: 9418"] This would be the best (and probably the least expensive) way for humanity to permanently settle off-world. The best thing about it is that most of the materials necessary for construction are already out there, waiting to be used. Sending robotic "miners" to a near-Earth asteroid would be step one. After moving the asteroid to L5 orbit, the miners would then hollow out the asteroid - removing its inner material to the surface until the asteroid attained a spheroid or cylindrical shape. This would take many years (probably decades) to accomplish. While this is going on, other robots could attach themselves to a nearby comet and move it to the "construction site". This could serve as the settlement's water source. Set the asteroid to spinning at the proper speed to simulate internal gravity, fill it with plant life to produce oxygen and food (and just to make things pretty), and presto! A home away from home.
