(2012-10-15) Potential For Space Migration

Brain Fart Of The Day...

I don't get all that excited by the Space Program, because without Space Migration it seems kinda pointless (back down another Gravity Well to someplace without air or water?). But Space Migration just doesn't seem that attractive if I can't get a good steak there. Might as well just get uploaded (as long as I have root on my slice).

So what might change this game?

BioTech

• Terra Forming
• colony-forming: scalable/sustainable/resilient colonies (whether in space or back on another surface)
• re-engineer humans to be more space-capable

FTL

Hrm, I'm skeptical as to any of those happening within centuries.

Thoughts?
