Vision for Humanity's future: Earth becoming a residential planet ¶
Greetings fellow Asgardians of the engineering sub-forum,
TV celebrity and English physicist Brian Cox recently announced his take, on a solution to Australia's energy crisis. He claims that simply cutting back on electricity usage in households is not enough, and neither is the commissions for extra power plants to be constructed. Cox goes on to say that “There’s enough metal, metals, in the asteroid belt to build a skyscraper 8000 stories tall and cover the earth in it... Essentially, an unlimited amount of resources [sit] there in the asteroids." To expand our reach beyond the confines of our own planet and into celestial bodies within our Solar System, and become a "multi-planetary civilisation" we will need to shift our focus from just staying a single planet into a focus on a perspective that involves everything within our Solar System.

Do you think we should focus our technology on making asteroids and moons factories for production and manufacture, thus relieving Earth of the polluting by-products created through our current factories?
