If you could synthesis Proteins, Vitamins, and Carbohydrates essentially the amount of food could only be limited by the laws of conservation.

Hmm, unnecessary hostility. Obviously you are a Roman Catholic.
Nope Pentecostal/Budhhahist/Deist
I'm an obvious minority in my church

Why not declare the Genesis Story non-literal and do more important things in your life?

We're talking Earth worms, not mind-eating worms :b.
But I'd say, genetically enginneered bacteria, that have Firefly 'glow' dna and some other splicing that adds heat production

What we need is a gravity lens scope using the Sun?s, or Jupiter?s, gravity well.
I read years ago that such a scope could show us contents on any Earth-like planets orbiting nearby stars. I would love to have a look at the Alpha Centauri System. With two Sun-like stars that can support planets out to 2 AU?s, it is a good place to look for Earth-Like planets.
Wait 60 years and why don't we just go visit it?
I'll by the tickets you bring the Hostee's .

What if we are living in an altered history?
I like to write, and I am working on a story where the Nazis caused the Titanic to sink to change history (The Titanic ended up being a troop ship during WWI. The Nazis, who have built a time machine, see sinking the Titanic as the key to getting them in power). In this story originally, the Titanic was not supposed to sink, and we, in fact, are living in an altered history.
Our hero, a time traveler from the 21st century, does not realize this until he discovers what the Nazis are up too (He finds out later that he is the one who gave the Nazis time travel technology). He sets history right(where the Titanic does not sink) and then returns to his future. There he finds the world a nuclear wasteland. As much as he hates to do it, he goes back and sinks the Titanic to restore the Nazis timeline, and his future.
I recall watching a TV screenplay (Outer Limits maybe) where a future historian goes back in time to save JFK.
After JFK survives Dallas WW3 breaks out in a dispute over Berlin and the world is about to get nuked.
JFK and the scientist/historian together make the personal decision to return to Dallas and the historian watches as JFK gets shot.
Red Dwarf and it was a Cat-man and a stoner.

1.) Building Geodysenic domes(and learning how to spell Geodysenic) in my free time.
2.) Getting things built via my Phds in Architecture and Engineering.
3.) Tiddling in the greenhouse.
4.) Occasionally throughing clark out of my geodysenic domes :b

Nope, apparently some lasers travel faster than light.
Apparently being 300 times the speed of light.

Why not using faster than light laser waves?

Should Theist be exported? - Yes.
Should Liberal Christians be exported? - Yes.
Should Fundamentalist Christians be exported? Unfortunately all of them died on a mysterious life support failure mid-trip.
Should religion be exported? YES!
Religion often reflects harmony and peace in ones life

#93 Re: Terraformation » Terraforming Venus - methods anyone? » 2004-05-03 15:37:52
Yeah the Sufluric Acid would simply breakdown the Glucose into to Carbon and Water but wouldn't chemically change itself ;b.

#98 Re: Terraformation » Terraforming Venus - methods anyone? » 2004-05-01 10:13:31
When glucose mixes with Sulfuric Acid you get 6 Carbon atoms and 6 H2O Molecules.
H2SO4 + C6H12O6 -> 6C + 6H2O & H2SO4
Water of course is necessary, and the Carbon would be used to construct a "ring-around-the-world" that is 36,785,450,405,345,177.90 kilometers in circumference.
The ring would slowly speed up Venus's orbit.
You could pump up CO2 to Cargo Ships which could hold(I'm guessing) .5 bars at a time making 235 day voyages to Mars, Callisto, and back using VASMIR engines.
Cargo Ship :
So I'd say a healthy 122.33 year minimum using one cargo ship.
After that we'd be down to about 4 Bars of CO2, Nitrogen, & Water and Sulfuric Acid.
Scoop away the Sulfuric Acids to whatever and whererver they're needed for, reduce the atmosphere down to 391 mb CO2, 809 bars of nitrogen, You have your water, thus you can add your plants.

What if the thing were inflated with hydrogen? Don't worry about payload ratios, hydrogen is the payload.
We would need an on-orbit compressor to change gaseous H2 to LH2, correct?
Edit: After the H2 is pumped from the balloon, roll the thing up and dump it back to Earth as well for re-filling.
