Part 6/10:
Both the Oort Cloud and Kuiper Belt present intriguing possibilities for resource acquisition. The icy bodies in these spaces contain various volatiles—methane, ammonia, carbon, and water—that are not as readily available in the inner solar system. Future colonization efforts should focus on these resources, particularly when terraforming planets and establishing self-sufficient habitats.
For settlement, however, traditional solar or fission power sources are not feasible. The solution likely lies in harnessing fusion energy from the plentiful materials found in these icy bodies. While solar energy may not be practical so far from the sun, innovative methods such as energy beaming from closer solar satellites through lasers could serve as a viable alternative.
