Is there any possibility of human being living on extraterrestrial entities like planets and satellites in the artificially constructed ecosystems?

Of course. There are already plans for human settlement on Mars and the moon. The moon base would be some sort of ''space port'' from which astronauts would be launched into space in other missions, so less powerful rockets are needed (since you don't have to escape the earth's gravity). Of course this is all future stuff but I don't see why it isn't possible

Dear sir
Thank you very much for your answer. My research is based on this particular concept only.

Krishnamohan if you please, I was wondering if a planet like Mars would be able to gradually be turned into a planet with an atmosphere, and if so would this not alter the planet's orbital placing thus maybey lead to total chaos because of possible collisions with other planets therefore possibly also ending the existance of this, our galaxy?

Mars already has a small atmosphere. I think it contains some oxygen and nitrogen, not sure about that though. But it is very small anyway.

I don't really understand your question. Altering the course of a planet does not have any impact on its atmosphere (other than changing its content). Mars is too small to maintain an atmosphere in which humans can breathe. Changing its course would not alter that.

If you change the course of a planet it is very likely to crash into another planet, that is true. But I don't see why that would end our galaxy. Scientists believe it happened before: in the young solar system, a planet called Theta (I think they call it like that, could also be Theia or something) crashed into the earth. The debris that formed on the collision then circled in an orbit around the earth, and over time it all came together and it's now the moon.

Question clarification...

No I actually meant it the other way round, altering its atmosphere...(since we possibly cant alter its course inicially) my thought on the matter was that if a barin planet like Mars would through some form of artificial geological change (made by hamans ofcours) would be able to develop trees and people lived there (since we are planing to) say basicly it were to be exploited by us, could this not have an impact on its mass and change its orbital placing? concidering gravitational pull...

As I understand it, the largest problem with terraforming Mars is atmospheric pressure. the pressure on Mars is well below human tolerances. Gravity is also low. I don't think we have any clear understanding of how to increase atmospheric pressure without water. If Mars has large deposits of ice, terraforming MAY be possible but that would be a MASSIVE project costing trillions of dollars just to initiate.

If humans do eventually live on Mars, it will likely be inside pod-like buildings or domes of some kind connected by tunnels and enclosed walkways, oxygenated by large gardens (oxygen gardens) and shielded from cosmic and solar radiation. Even this project is almost astronomically expensive. I doubt we will se it in our lifetimes given the current economic climate of the world.
