You have 24/7 solar power in space

  The energy requirements to generate a large enough magnetic field to shield an entire planet from radiation is many orders of magnitude higher than any reactor we already have on this planet can produce, let alone from solar power, and let alone the energy requirements from cooling, etc. In other words, this is science fiction. It isn’t something we even know we could do.

    Terraforming planets is science fiction. We’re a long ways from there. We don’t even have industry in space yet.

      Terraforming it to our liking is a long way off. But it might be easy to accidentally terraform something. Microorganisms are shockingly creative at survival.
