One of my biggest dreams is to someday live in space. I do not care if this has to be a location for retirement. Seeing as many privately owned companies, such as Virgin, are currently working on space tourism and a lunar operating base to be established sometime this decade by NASA. It is very possible by the time the current generation reaches old age, we will be living in the heavens.

Virgin, while developing SpaceShipTwo and another project, has said that they wish to lower the cost of traveling so the average Joe may someday travel to space.
This is only a small step from the first colony. I am personally looking forward to the day when NASA finally completes the first Lunar Operations Base. From there, they said it will be easier to focus on Mars.

As I have said before, they are working on making space travel affordable for the average Joe. They are planning on doing this while developing the SpaceShipTwo. Which is their current project.

I'm pretty sure I'd never want to live there, but I would definitely go there for vacation... It's definitely amazing that it's possible!

I guess playing soccer in space would be a lot of fun! Since you'd be floating and all.
