Re: are we alone in the universe?

makes me wonder, how advanced would our science have to be to take a planet that is not suitable for life - totally unsuitable, and make major corrections

for example - we discoved this solar system, and the most ideal planet was between mars and jupiter

it was the right size, but its orbit was too far from the sun, and it had two moons, one of which was so large it caused destructive tidal forces

so major adjustments were needed.

1. obliverate the massive moon (resulting in the asteriod belt)

2. drop the planet into a better orbit, between Venus and Mars

3. Introduce basic life forms

4. Let the planet stew in its own juices for 50 million years

and Walla! Earth!

Advanced terraforming 527. For this course you will be required to alter the orbit of a class M planet....
