Скачать или смотреть Why Humans No Longer Land on Planets | Stations Above Hostile Worlds

In the very far future, humanity has all but abandoned the idea of finding a planet to call home.
As a consequence, humans no longer settle planets by landing on them.

Instead, colossal ring-shaped space stations orbit worlds that are completely hostile to human life.
Scorched by radiation, crushed by gravity, frozen in darkness, or poisoned by toxic atmospheres, these planets cannot be touched — yet they are essential to humanity’s survival.

Each station exists for a reason.
Some harvest fusion isotopes from radiation worlds.
Others extract rare gases, minerals, water, energy, or biological resources that cannot be created anywhere else.

This documentary explores how humanity learned to survive above worlds it could never live on — and how orbit became the new frontier of colonisation.
