HONEYCOMB
Closing Remarks For our third year in this competitions, inspired by the events at the 2015 ISDC, we have decided to revive our very first settlement idea: the Honeycomb. Not because it was easy, not because it was simple, but because we believe that recent discoveries have made our design closer to reality than ever. A simple (yet complex) modular design is the only way in which we can start sending people to live in space in a reasonable amount of time. To us, the Honeycomb is more than a geometrical array of shapes. In it, we see the future of space exploration. By putting all the pieces together and designing the settlement, we have embarked on a great journey with an even greater reward. For now, we believe that we have achieved our goal of creating the smallest, simplest functional space colony. However, we also know that anything can be made better with enough patience and care. We promise to keep searching for ways of making our settlement cheaper, stronger and even easier to comprehend. C ontact light.
