Making planets and moons habitable

I really do hope that one day, scientists can make the moon and mars habitable to mankind.

I'm just seeing one snag to all this.

We can't even keep planet earth habitable.

Agreed. Let’s make a start though. I was shocked yesterday at the litter down lovely country lanes as I cycled between Chelmsford

and London. Shocked also at the fly tipping.

Did you see the filth left over the weekend at the Notting Hill Carnival. It was the same earlier in the year at Glastonbury. When I hear stories of Japanese sports fans clearing litter before they leave stadiums I wonder why can’t we be like that? I know it’s an old cliche thing to moan about litter and I know there are bigger challenges. Got to start somewhere though.

Edinburgh is in shit state at the moment.

Litter everywhere. The council collectors have been on strike but it just shows the level of waste created.

We could always put it into landfill and use the digestor gas as a source additional energy

Most planets have had billions of years to creat an atmosphere etc to support life. Very few have within our sector of the universe. So science is unlikely to find any solution or resources any time soon.

Agreed that our immediate neighbouring planets are less likely to support our future needs, however, future technologies in travel should resolve these limitations. The physics is known, the technology or energy creation is not yet known.

we will get there, I'm sure.

Well we now know of several bodies in the solar system with water or water ice, and the new James Webb Telescope has recently found an ocean planet relatively close in interstellar terms - around 100 light years I believe. Nothing that's likely to be progressed in this generation, but who knows what technology is going to be around in 15 years?

The Apollo missions were done with computers not much more powerful than calculators. This weekend's planned test launch should be very interesting. The hydrogen leak a few days ago was unfortunate but that's why they do unoccupied test launches.

The JWT is a great device but what we are seeing is where that planet was 100 years ago. One thing is for certain, it is not there now.

Our solar system is moving at an estimated 448,000mph. So that planet, even if, (impossibly in glalctic terms), is stationary, is circa 400 billion miles further away today in an unknown direction. Travel to another planet outside our solar system will be many many years off.

Michio Kaku and his explanation of string filed theory explains how we can overcome such barriers as you describe. I love listening to this man, he blows my tiny brain with his forward thinking. Can I say he is correct in his studies, predictions and theories?

Not with my brain

Depends on your definition of habitable.

Perhaps in the same way as the Arctic research stations.

I would certainly say something worth doing. It drives technology and is inspiring and the supplementary benefits to other spheres is significant and unpredictable.

It could, perhaps provide us with ways to improve how we do treat the Earth. Space travel and colonisation demands ultra efficient resource use.
