Space colony - Uchuu Shokuminchi (English spelling) space colony

Japanese: 宇宙植民地 - うちゅうしょくみんち(英語表記)space colony
Space colony - Uchuu Shokuminchi (English spelling) space colony
A habitation built by humans on a celestial body other than Earth. As an extension of the Apollo program, it is expected that one day a permanent exploration base will be established on the moon, and if such a base develops and permanent residents settle there, it will become a space colony. It is the most popular theme in science fiction, and various colonies are imagined, not only on planets in the solar system but also in other galaxies. In such cases, attention is mainly focused on issues related to the natural environment of the planet and human development technology, as well as political issues that are a direct extension of today's ``North-South problem'' to space.

Japanese:
人間が地球以外の天体に築く居住地。アポロ計画の延長上で,月に恒久的な探索基地が生まれる日もやがて来ると予想されるが,そうした基地が発展して永住者が定着すれば宇宙植民地となる。SFにおいて最も人気のあるテーマであり,太陽系惑星はむろん,他の銀河系にまでおよぶ多様なコロニーが想像されている。その場合,主として惑星の自然環境や人間の開拓技術などに関する問題と,今日の〈南北問題〉をそのまま宇宙に持ちこんだ政治的問題とに,関心が向けられている。
