There is much sci-fi and techie talk of colonising Mars, or the Moon, and giant space habitats as far as the Asteroid Belt. But as you venture further out the Sun's power diminishes proportional to the square of the distance, and the solar panels that power all this life become extremely inefficient, and green plants struggle with low light levels. But is there a conceivable way to live, and thrive as a human colony, in the long term, way, way, out there in the Kuiper Belt and even beyond?
