      Well there are people leaving in space so as long as you could power everything and get supplies back and forth I don’t see why not. Money might be the issue though!

      It would be a big challenge as low gravity and microgravity environments can have long lasting effects on your health in space!

      The best example would be continuous bone degeneration as you don’t have the force of gravity driving your body to renew the bone… you’d also lose a lot of muscle mass for the same reasons.

      So there are alot of “hurdles” that would need to be solved first before we could live there full time… but I think it would be possible one day!
