Seven Threats in Heaven

As promised, here is Seven Threats in Heaven, an examination of seven of the most challenging obstacles that face humanity in the attempt to colonize space. It discusses factors such as creating artificial gravity (which is required for the human body to function properly in space), ways to protect the colonists from cosmic rays and solar radiation, and how to produce food for a population in space.

It is the first of many Astronomical Intelligence articles, hopefully. The presentation style appeals to me - it is professional enough to sooth my ego while being easy enough that I don't tear my hair out trying to get it to work.
