We tend to use certain words when describing humans on other worlds, and we should be aware of the distinctions among them.
A base may be intended as a long-term project, but it is manned by crews for specific amounts of time.
A settlement is a community where people make their lives, raise families, run businesses, etc.
A colony is a settlement, but the word suggests a subordinate political relationship to another, older entity, such as a nation.
