the idea of terraforming Mars, IMO-- or maybe filling
in the Grand Canyon in Arizona :-).
I can beat that. I remember a sci-fi story where we were about to build a
Dyson Sphere. The only problem was that the conversion of Jupiter's
hydrogen/helium mass would produce too much heat for all the myriad orbital
settlements. So first we had to dismantle the Earth to build a sphere
around Jupiter. The locals sure were pissed...
