Evolution is the obvious answer for how we move into hostile environments. Hardening the environment seems inefficient.
Seveneves is a fun book that explores this concept.
E.g., probably better to evolve a few new species who can live in orbit around the earth for a few thousand years. They'd have a better time with all these issues (radiation, resources, etc)
- veli_joza 10y agoSome scientists (Hawking, etc...) consider evolution to apply beyond biological context. In that sense, any usage of technology to solve this problem could also be considered evolution. As example, in Accelerando by Charles Stross, human consciousness is transfered into virtual reality environment and sent several light years away in a can-sized probe.
