This IQP examines technology currently under development or underused and its applications in space. Also examined is the impact of technologies that can only be developed in a microgravity environment. To showcase this technology, we have written a novel which attempts to show a compelling view of the future 50 years hence, describing the interplay between futuristic technology and human society. We have highlighted the creative element of the human spirit which always seeks new frontiers to explore.
