Sea pumps to create rain using windmills to control weather? I'd love some science advice and facts for this question: If they use wind power to bring up water from the ocean in the day time and spray it on prevailing winds going into land (i.e. 10-15 km from the coast using 200m high fountains), can they make it rain more in arid regions? What weather contro... (more) |

Can Zeppelins and Blimps replace cars in the future? It would be cool if this entire planet could use zeppelin roadways instead of tarmac roads. Especially for countryside transport away from cities. A zeppelin for one person is about the size of a lorry, and with future materials, we can have fold-up, safe zepellins, with safety sensors, weather predi... (more) |

If we built a large moon close to Mars, could we make Mars a living world? If we made a large moon near Mars, the tidal forces would encourage the tectonic system to rev up again, and start up the inner dynamo effect. There would be volcanoes, producing a new atmosphere, which would capture more of the sun's heat and promote warm humid conditions for life. To make the moon... (more) |

Are moon colonies scientifically easier than interstellar travel? Is it easier to build colonies within the solar system than to send colonies to other stars? Logically, wouldn't we have cities on Pluto sooner than we will have travelled to an exoplanet? (more) |

Technology to inhabit −200 degrees planets? Humans require a 20 degrees environment. that's 250 degrees warmer than Pluto. So, if humans lived there, their structures would melt the surface and sink. −200 cracks all common metals. most spacecraft are currently insulated. What kind of architecture and technologies are necessary to live on co... (more) |
