What
is
the
opDmal

locaDon
for
the
industry

associated
with
a

populaDon
that
is
rapidly

growing
in
number
and/or

quality
of
life?

It
is
not
the
inward
surface

of
a
biosphere,
such
as
the

surface
of
the
earth.

It
is
the
outward
surface

of
a
biosphere,
which
is

only
pracDcal
if
that

biosphere
is
a
large

structure
in
outer
space.
