Welcome to Future Space World, a place where we connect the present with the future.
Building an orbital ring around Earth is one of the most complex tasks humans have yet to figure out. After British Engineer Paul Birch proposed the idea of the orbital ring as a massive ring that would be built around Earth in 1982, scientists debated how this futuristic concept would be brought to life. So,…
Imagine a future where humans will live in a habitable environment in space that is not the surface of a moon or a planet. Bishop ring space habitat was proposed as a megastructure that will provide a habitable environment to humans. Futurist Forrest Bishop of the Institute of Atomic-Scale Engineering proposed the concept of Bishop…
Wernher Von Braun is a German rocket scientist known for his groundbreaking discovery in rocket science and for developing the Saturn V rocket that flew the first human to the lunar surface. Aside from his creative role in developing crewed rockets in the 1960s, Wernher Von Braun also made several predictions about humanity among the…
Can we ever become a type 3 civilization? Now, imagine a future where humans will have the capability to harness the entire energy within the Milky Way Galaxy and possibly commence on an intergalactic journey to Andromeda or another galaxy. While many people will assume that this future will be impossible, a Soviet futuristic Nikolai…
Unlike a Type I or K1 civilization that can control only planetary energies, a Type 2 civilization has advanced enough that they now have the capability to control their solar system. This advanced civilization can harness the solar power output of a star, and possibly travel to other solar systems to build and harness their…
Becoming a type 1 civilization is not an easy feat for any civilization. Despite our level of technological advancement, human civilization is still at 0.73 on the Kardashev scale. Futurist Michio Kaku predicted that our kind will definitely become a type 1 civilization in the next 100 or 200 years from now. So, how will…
Have you ever imagined a future where humans would explore space with spaceships powered by antimatter? Of course, many people will call this a utopian dream. However, some scientists have already proven the theoretical possibility of an antimatter rocket. Aside from the theoretical findings, can we actually create and use antimatter rockets in the future?…
On March 14th, 2002, Elon Musk founded SpaceX to colonize Mars before 2054. Over the years, the aerospace company recorded several failures before succeeding with its first mission on December 23, 2008. From the onset, Elon Musk’s plan for manned mission to Mars has centered on launching hundreds of starships, humanoids, and astronauts to start…
Imagine the future where human civilization builds gigantic Dyson spheres around the Sun that will capture most of its output power. The possibility of this would enable our civilization to use our star’s great solar power output to advance technologically and commence with interstellar crewed space travel to conquer other stars. Suppose we were able…
A civilization like humankind depends heavily on harnessing energy to meet up with modern technological demands. For years, scientists have been researching on finding the best way to measure the amount of energy harnessed and consumed by humans on Earth. In 1964, Soviet astronomer and physicist Nikolai Kardashev proposed the concept of the Kardeshev scale…
