How hard would it be to terraform the Moon?

We can’t terraform the moon. The Moon is too small, has no magnetic field, not nearly enough water, nitrogen, etc. OK, to hold on to an atmosphere at 1 AU from the sun, you’ll need the Moon to have a magnetic field and more gravity. To do that, you’ll need more mass.

Is Mars too small to terraform?

Terraforming Mars is therefore a daunting endeavor that doesn’t seem possible with current technology. These gases are short-lived, though, so the process would need to be repeated on a large scale to keep Mars warm. Another idea is to import gases by redirecting comets and asteroids to hit Mars.

How long would it take to terraform the Moon?

Originally Answered: How long would it take to Terraform the Moon or Mars? Terraforming the moon thus providing a shirtsleeve environment for at least the next 100,000 years! Yes that is right we can terraform the moon and it will last 100,000 years even if we do not do any further work.

Is terraforming possible on Mars?

Balasubramanian explains “greenhouse warming,” which involves warming Mars by melting the planet’s polar ice caps and releasing their stored carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. “Terraforming is not possible using present-day technology.”

What if we terraformed moon?

It’ll be warmer, too, from greenhouse effects. Earth will still hold sway over a moon revolving much faster, making its presence felt even if you can’t see it most of the time. The tides will be 20 yards high—and so can be surfed. With lesser gravity, a boarder can skate over hundreds of miles, a daylong ride.

Is Titan livable?

Habitability. Robert Zubrin has pointed out that Titan possesses an abundance of all the elements necessary to support life, saying “In certain ways, Titan is the most hospitable extraterrestrial world within our solar system for human colonization.” The atmosphere contains plentiful nitrogen and methane.

How many years would it take to terraform Mars?

Depending on whom you talk to, terraforming could take anywhere from 50 years to 100 million years to complete. The surface might one day look like our own Earth. It could also resemble a massive metropolis with people unable to live outside of domes or other manmade structures for hundreds of years.

What’s the difference between a ring world and ecumenopolis?

An Ecumenopolis in many ways outright beats a Ring World in terms of people living on it, pure alloy production, and so on. Gaia Worlds are about on par with Machine/Hiveworlds and with the new districts industrial districts coming the whole “pick your district of choice” on Hive/Machine Worlds becomes A LOT weaker.

Is there a way to make a Ecumenopolis without ascension perks?

If you fill a huge world with the new industrial districs and upgrade it with a Foundry (Level 2 or higher) it will do the same as a ecumenopolis for normal empire without spending an ascensionperk for it. Maybe the ecumenoplis might be slightly more effective ok, but you paid an AP for it.

Do machines and hiveminds have access to ecumenopoli?

With the change coming to districts, it feels increasingly weird that neither Machines nor Hiveminds have access to Ecumenopoli. I’ve heard the argument repeatedly that “Machine/Hive Worlds are their equivalent”. Which, isn’t really true. Those are the equivalent to Gaia worlds for organics. same bonuses, same general setup.

Is Mars a better terraforming target than Venus?

Whilst the atmosphere of Mars is closer to Earth’s at the present time, it will always be one fifth of the mass of Earth, and will therefore never (unless we add mass to it) be close to Earth’s gravity. Therefore, I am of the opinion that Venus would be a better terraforming target.
