Our vision for our training scenario is that the first major populated base most likely would be an orbiting space station from which space colonists would depart to the other research outposts. This station would be constructed of an assemblage of discarded space shuttle fuel tanks and "spun-up" to create an artificial gravity of 1g. <p><br> <br> </p> </td> </tr> </table> <font color="#FFFFFF">Space colonization is not that far away. Current thinking is that by 2020 NASA will be back on the moon and by 2025 have bases both on the Moon and Mars. NASA will not be alone. Russia, China, The European Union and Japan all have plans for a human presence in space too. Presently there is a permanent space population in the orbiting International Space Station. Thus far over 400 people have traveled to space and 12 have walked on the moon. If this pace of space travel continues, and the number would double each decade, by 2040, there will be 6,000 space colonists living and working in space. Space colonists will not only be the "best and the brightest" as NASA labels its research/explorer oriented astronauts but also the well trained "ordinary folk" such as welders, riggers, medical techs, nurses, mechanics, electricians, cooks, laborers, accountants, teachers, administrators, etc.</font> <p><font color="#FFFFFF">Our vision for our training scenario is that the first major populated base most likely would be an orbiting space station from which space colonists would depart to the other research outposts.
