That, again, is a pretty big new constraint you are placing to make an argument.
Since we're talking about exo-planets, that's not a reasonable constraint in this conversation.

Yes - yet that's the context of this thread.
- bee_rider 4y agoThe article was about the search for life, so clearly we're off on a tangent here if we are talking about space colonization. I guess I assumed it was about semi-realistic space colonization, because the comment that kicked it off talked about the solving problems -- if we have magical sci-fi technology there's no reason to talk about this, because we have no way to speculate which problems will have an automatic sci-fi answer. Anyway, if you pick apart the problems described in the first post you responded to, you'll find, I think, that the only restriction imposed by limiting the discussion to planets inside the solar system is the "less solar energy."
