Hmm... You're just getting me thinking now: if we get sophisticated enough to travel hundreds/thousands of light years, etc... Then wouldn't it also stand to reason that we wouldn't even need to find planets, but rather can build our own artificial "microplanet"?
Curious what you think.
- tmuir 11y agoThat's a far more difficult prediction: what technology will be developed in the next several hundred years. What sticks out as some problems with building a planet are where do you get all of the material, and how would you manage its rotational and revolutional speeds as it grew larger? Propelling a space ship seems fairly simple compared with propelling a planet. Douglas Adams had some things to say about designing planets.
