No matter how advanced our civilization is, sooner or later it will have to deal with a problem that is not easy to solve. • Which is? • That of our planet's finite resources. • And I am not referring to resources such as minerals, clean water, and breathable air, but to something even more fundamental and restrictive: the amount of space available. • There is in fact only a finite amount of land to inhabit on our planet. • Yes, sure, maybe someday we will build floating cities on the oceans, or even manage to live in the deep sea... but it's only a matter of time... sooner or later some part of us will have to leave the planet... • Okay, but to go where? Useless for the moment to think about the romantic idea of searching for an extrasolar planet, perfect and already nice and ready to live on. The distances are prohibitive, and our technological resources are pathetically insufficient for such a mission. • Thus, if we want a world suitable for our life, it seems that our only option will be to transform a currently uninhabitable planet into one on which humans can survive. And this has a name, and it is called terraforming. • A word that in the collective imagination evokes only one thing: Mars. • But despite the belief of many that Mars is the right world to terraform within our solar system, there may be an even better option closer to home: the Moon. And I'll explain why • - • If You happen to see any content that is yours, and we didn't give credit in the right manner please let us know at [email protected] and we will correct it immediately • Some of our visual content is under an Attribution-ShareAlike license.
