This assignment is a combination of science and science fiction. You will need to use your imagination as you write about your colony or space station. Start with the facts of your planet then make up solutions, invent new technologies, but do not resort to “magic” or constant restocking of supplies from Earth. The more scientifically plausible your solutions are, the higher your grade will be. Use your imagination, and don’t be afraid to dream!
