What if one day we could "grow" buildings and other various structures and even electronics? If you think about the resources required to build a city and towns and to construct electronics require materials that are becoming steadily more rare as the demand increases. However, the one most abundant material on Earth are biological material. The resources all living biological beings require are certain minerals to sustain its own growth and with composting we can always replenish those minerals in a non-harmful way.
This idea isn't new and in fact it's technological basis of the aliens called the Taelons in Gene Roddenberys Earth: Final Conflict. From their Mothership to the buildings they constructed on Earth were all biologically based. This technology is far off into the future, but advances have been made such as Harvard
scientists saving data onto
colonies of bacteria to even utilizing the
science of synthetic biology
in order to achieve this.
This is truly one of the reasons why I joined Asgardia, a place where people can come together and work in solidarity with each other to achieve the highest potential of humanity. Sure, it would be nice if we could do this on Earth, but the political structures in place in each of our native countries does not allow this collaboration to occur. Instead, we are divided by borders and thus the potential of humanity can not be realized. Working alongside my fellow biological science based comrades perhaps we can quash the borders that separate us and, as Asgardians, help each other and others realize ther full human potential.
