H5N1 Virus, Atomic Weapons, Genetic Modification

You seem to have missed the point of the group. Settling planets is not our
focus, and we need to move public thinking away from this counterproductive
assumption. The point is to construct nearly-ideal environments for
whatever life it is we wish to support, not the other way around. Large
scale transgenesis, like terraforming, is a dead end, when free-orbit closed
ecologies are within the reach of this or the next generation.
