Abstract:
The idea that other planets might be made habitable for humans and other forms of terrestrial life became a subject of serious scientific speculation and study more than 25 years ago. The word ‘terraforming’ describes this process of planetary transformation from a naturally existing abiogenic state to one that is Earth-like in all important respects. Ideally, a completely terraformed planet will possess a stable self-regulating ecosphere in which the prevailing conditions fall within the range of human physiological tolerance.
