Aside from a few grammatical and stylistic errors, it looks good.
Several years ago, on a list I ran we discussed creating a computer game
similar to Sim City that did a lot of this. The goal was not just to come
up with good designs but also to stimulate interest in space (not
necessarily planetary) colonization.
Another possibility is to just have design competitions for various space
related stuff. Or essay contests along the lines of "Write what you think
are the best reasons for space settlement."
See also my web site for related stuff.
