All Topics are Open for Discussion, Ideas and Suggestions
This is not the entire list for example under Science Labs would include math and physics, biology, etc. I have just listed the main subjects that need will be addressed.
If you have other things to add to the list please feel free to leave your comments .
Governmental Body–
- How will the ship be governed?
- Military style like Star Trek?
- Democratic
- Laws and Judicial system
Life Sustaining Resources–
- How will we store, use and protect the ships resources?
- Water–
- How will we store, use, protect and reuse this life-sustaining resource?
- No long showers here. Showers will have to be very efficient and use tiny amounts of water.
- Food–
- How will we grow, store,and protect food especially if we run short?
- Hydroponics labs is one method.
- We will be looking into using 3D printers to produce the food we eat. In Star Trek it was called a replicator. Breaking down to powder form all the elements and chemicals found in the food we eat. Then we just use the old printer to print a hamburger or pizza. Actually anything we eat.
- How will we grow, store,and protect food especially if we run short?
- Oxygen–
- This is the most valuable resource of all. Without oxygen we can not survive more than a few minutes.
- Hydroponics labs or arboretums could be created to help produce some of the oxygen.
- The statistics vary: (According to the Arbor Day Foundation, “a mature leafy tree produces as much oxygen in a season as 10 people inhale in a year.”) (“A single mature tree can absorb carbon dioxide at a rate of 48 lbs./year and release enough oxygen back into the atmosphere to support 2 human beings.”)
- We have to pinpoint how much carbon dioxide trees and plants can absorb and how much oxygen they can produce.
- Raw Materials
- Some raw materials are life sustaining and will have to be stored and reused.
- Medicines
Social–
- Culture
- Entertainment
- Education
- History
- Library– this will probably be digital
- Knowledge
Starship Operations
- Computer System
- Navigation System
- Propulsion System–
- Warp capabilities would be the most logical. But for now we might have to settle for something a little slower. To fly around our solar system to get a feel for space.
- Energy Production System (Element 115 would come in handy about now for its “island of stability” properties.)
- Ship Protection System–
- Force fields, weapons, etc.
- Security System
- Eco System–
- HVAC or atmospheric controls and stabilization mechanisms. (Side note: a system that will protect us from diseases in a sterile environment will also make us more susceptible to infection the longer we are on board.) Definitely need the Tricorder here. (For Star Trek Fans)
Laboratories and Facilities
- Medical labs–
- Clinics and hospital or sick bay
- Psychology, psychiatry, clinics
- and sociologists
- Science labs
- Electronics labs
- Engineering labs
Equipment
- Shuttles
- Space Suits
- Clothing
- 3D printers
- Diagnostic
- Mechanical tools
