Can you even terraform the moon? I thought you needed to have a suitable atmosphere etc...Mars could be terraformed but i don't think the moon can (probably wrong but meh...)

It's a long process involving placing water, and trees in an amount sufficient enough to create a breathable atmosphere. It also would take lots of time.

'Cause if it does...maybe I am"

There's been a trend in technology that focuses less on the grandiose, and rather focuses on efficiency, etc.  Of course, that can all change within the next 93 years or so, but with ever-more dwindling resources, who knows?

How would they change the moon and Mars to have similar characteristics as Earth? Is that possible?

Get an atmosphere formed by disturbing the soil with machinery, which also put out gas as a by-product, including CO2. Then slowly transport water there, and finally try and grow some flora, and start transporting micro-organisms until the atmosphere is capable of supporting life.

Something like that.

Anyhow, I believe that advances in physics might be the biggest leap, such as a supposed idea of 'electrogravity'.

i've built and tested devices that when charged can hover, unteathered, several feet off the ground.

however in order to create enough lift with an onboard powersource, the lifter has to be VERY big..

they also emmit MASSIVE amounts of static waves, so the next metal thing you touch will shock you.

its cool stuff though, all theories of WHY it works are merely speculation as of this point in time.

Actually, electrogravity and anti-gravity are different things.

Whilst anti-gravity requires a huge power source and is independent of the variable of mass, electrogravity relies on the mass of the spacecraft as it's power source. The more massive, the more powerful the upward thrust, and as the craft ascends, the effect intensifies.

Those are pretty good.

I'm tired now, so if you have any comments on the mathematics of this, message me, since I am not quite as well learned in equations as in other things. I did not bother to try to decipher all the math(yet), but if you notice something definately wrong with it all, then give me a heads up.
