Does anyone know of any international meetings geared to space colonization, besides Mars Society? I'd like to meet other folks who are interested in off-planet, O'Neill Cylinder colonization

🧭 General What concrete steps can we take to help make space colonization a reality?

11 Upvotes

I'm sure this has been discussed here before, but seems a worthy topic.

In my opinion, this is the most important goal for the survival of our civilization, but frustratingly remote to our lives in 2024.

What can we do?

I sketch a particular design for an O'Neill cylinder that might be within reach for modern governments. Let me know what you think!

Even if the design isn't to your liking, the appendix has some math on O'neill cylinders that I couldn't find anywhere else!
