摘要: The idea of transforming the conditions prevailing on other small planets by terraforming has as its ideal endpoint, establishment stable and humanly inhabitable Earth-like environments. In practice, such an solution is unlikely, in most cases, to be technically or economically achievable. An additional disincentive very long elapsed time from commencement completion transformation process. This paper discusses more immediate alternative scenario paraterraforming a means creating maintaining habitable environments
