Could we move Mars or Venus into Earth's orbit and live there?
- russell 17y agoThe answer is yes, but it would take a long time. The method is having dozens of asteroids pass close to the transportee over and over for a very long time. I am a little skeptical. Wouldn't this slow drifting into the earth's orbit cause all kinds of unpleasantness, like collisions or tidal locking? However, I am not an orbital mechanic and leave it to those so inclined. The blog is full of all sorts of questions that I didnt know I needed the answers to, but I have bookmarked it, just in case I need an answer. The question be damned.
