That is why I was suggesting the giant planetary shield. Think in the future with better materials and technology we should be able to at low cost basically turn the entire planet into an enclosed climate controlled structure. Artificial light could simulate more earth like lighting or a means to rout the sunlight in such a manor could also work. The structure itself could also shield the planet in place of its poor magnetic field. Although it is mars that basically had no magnetic field and the problem with mars is that any atmosphere we create will be blow off due to solar winds and the low gravity. Ultimately we may need to somehow enclose mars as well in order to prevent the atmosphere from being removed.

I just like to imagine that if we truly are going to start to colonize we need to think of radical approaches to creating earth like conditions for large areas.

Faster than light travel is another all important quest for science, pisses me off that its not talked about enough

I believe they are scared of what will happen as you cross that barrier. The trouble I see with it is comunications will be obsolete. Radiowaves will only travel the speed of light. So if you traveled at 2x that speed your comunications would be delayed by a year.

true but either way it only long term solution to deep space travel since our solar system wont last for ever, unless anyone is up for long term travel, which im not.

The problem is that you can not go faster than light this we know for sure. However what we can do is alter space so that the distance is shorter.

a tesseract?

Zero is right, even though the speed of light as been 'changed' before, you can't physically travel faster then light. Even if we could? That means it would still take 1000's of years to just travel to our closest galactic neighbors.

And Zero is also right, you have to some how change space around you, bend it - aka - wormholes. It's really the only way to travel outside our solar system.

yeah i think physicist say rather than make the ship move make space move instead.

so much easier to do that.
