The Genesis Device works…..
Where do you pack all the carbon you pull out of the atmosphere with the atmospheric factories? We are speaking gigatons of carbon.
Beautifully written
This will be wonderful if we can do all of those things someday.
Amazing how the heat of processes got dissipated.
High fantasy in space not science fiction.
I'm so tired of eco-terrorist bullshit!
they could have asked Slartibartfast to build a new planet (Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy)
Lol this wasn’t a story. It had no conflict, tension to resolve.
Ok, weird to just pick this out….but "soup skewers" ?
Sooo… the humans are magratheans?
Plot twist. The human terraforming technology is not about Mars or Europa. Those were just improvements to the real event. Namely, that humans successfully saved earth from the collapse they had otherwise doomed their own home planet to. And in their desperation, they at the final moments, actually succeeded. They only built upon it from there.
THAT is why humanity was able to achieve this.
Let’s face it. We wouldn’t bother with a genesis device. We’d get the atmosphere breathable and then empty our jails and send them there.
Nah… Rather than HFY, this story is BSFO… I like a bit of reality in my SF. I'm prepared to suspend disbelief if the story is a good one… But this one takes it just a bit too far and fast. Humans may be good, but we're not that good
