Motivation
We are all living on the same Planet. Cruise speed is 30 kilometers per second around sun. All energy comes from there.
Earth has no emergency exit and is getting hotter. Polar caps are melting and oceans are rising. Arctic will be ice free soon. Can we stop CO2 and terraforming early enough?
