(Gonna try something different today.) Q: If you had the chance to colonize another planet without the chance of coming back, Would you do it?

 

[Lucy]

Why or why not?

 

[Victorique]

I would do it but I'd prefer terraforming with emphasis on environmentally friendly infrastructure rather than "manifest destiny" type imperial colonization. It allows sort of an experiment into creating a world with minimal waste footprint

 

[Tenchi Masaki]

That’s in line with my philosophy. If the world was rocky and barren the crust would be ground up and vital nutrients blended in to make soil for farming. This would require large machines to accomplish this down to a depth of at least six feet. But a farm world would be established to feed people.

 

[Lucy]

Not sure if I'd be that brave knowing that I couldn't return to Earth. :/

 

[Laverna]

Me either

 

[Lucy]

@Tenchi Masaki this might be a dumb question but how would we get the heavy machines up to another planet? Piece by piece? And assemble like IKEA?

 

[Tenchi Masaki]

The key is manufacturing in space. Establish factories on the moon and then build factories to operate in space then build everything needed. The cost would be… astronomical but it must be done

 

[Lucy]

I can't tell if you are serious or being facishous (sp) heh

((OOC: well, if anyone has a decent tower they could part with for shipping, let me know... rearranged my floor, which moved my better laptop into my makeshift living room (it has HDMI, so easier to hook up). The current laptop in my bedroom is barely able to YouTube, let alone do much else (Dell with a 2 core, 4 thread Intel (I shudder typing that word), 4 gigs RAM, Win7 Pro... painfully slow is being nice.

((Forgot about that one. I have my eye on new parts to build the next tower, just need to win the Powerball and get better wiring up here (my laser printer dims my floor when it's on) ))

 

[Lucy]

Don't take Chase tower. He's still sore about Carmen stealing it haha
