Taming Mars with a tent and a tunnel: creation of a biosphere-city

  • Published:
Speculations in Science and Technology

Abstract

‘Technical fix’ summarizes the story of all extinct and extant ecosystem-societies. Nowadays composed of ∼193 UNO members, our global civilization's true wealth is humanity's scientific–technological capacity to direct any global Nature's forces. More and more, people and their designated robots visit other potential worlds. This is done, in part, to discover and define controllable planetary forces additional to Earth's. Mars' suspected biosphere, along with its future anthropic enhancements, may eventually be enveloped by a crust-covering building (Taylor's Worldhouse). That noble terraforming goal is achievable using already patented technology.
