We explore the incredible engineering challenges of creating permanent human habitats on other worlds.

Dr. Hakeem Ali-Bocas Alexander guides us through the revolutionary technologies and designs that will allow humanity to establish footholds across our solar system.

•Discover how Martian habitats will use local regolith for radiation protection and incorporate inflatable structures and 3D printing to create sustainable living environments on the Red Planet.

•Explore the unique challenges of building on Europa's icy surface, where habitats must withstand extreme cold and intense radiation while potentially accessing subsurface oceans.

•Learn about floating habitats on Titan that could utilize the moon's dense atmosphere and liquid methane lakes for buoyancy and resource extraction.

•Understand how advanced robotics, autonomous construction systems, and sustainable energy solutions will be essential for building and maintaining these extraterrestrial outposts.
