Human outpost

A human outpost is a place where people live and work away from other places. It might be a place on Earth like a remote research station, or it could be a place on another planet like a space station. People living in a human outpost usually have a job or mission to do, like working on scientific studies or exploration of the planet. People living in an outpost may also have to take care of their own basic needs, like growing food, building shelters, and finding ways to communicate with people back on Earth.
