Comment on Avatar (the one with the blue aliens) is such a weird franchise
Tattorack@lemmy.world 4 weeks agoThe Moon isn’t a pressurised environment with a full ecosystem. And considering how developed and gridlocked Earth is, and that interstellar travel is possible, why do you assume the moon hasn’t already been colonised?
Or Mars? Or Titan?
An artificial ecosystem doesn’t, and will never, compare to an organically evolved one.

Honestly, a swarm of O’Neil cylinders would have more surface area than the planet Earth and need less mass than one of Mars’ moons. That would be vastly superior to even a duplicate Earth of nothing but nature preserves

Yes, but the last ship/vessel designated “O’Neil” was exploded to stop the Replicators. :P
