Step-planet.

Hi everyone. This is my first posting at the 'Heavenly bodies' blog. The name of the blog brings to fore a myriad of thoughts, but this blog is mainly about the real heavenly bodies, no way related to women. Here, i will discuss about all the planets in the solar system, their satellites and one more important topic.

In this blog i want to talk about the possibility of living under a different atmosphere. If humans are forced to live on a different planet, what would be the means to achieve that end. I will discuss various ideas of my own, which will help a future settlement of humans to make a habitat on a different planet.

It might feel ludicruous to discuss this topic, but with Kyoto protocol notwithstanding, and the US govt. resolutely and dumbly not giving any heed to the growing signs of global warming, an exile to Mars is not very far off in the future. We are slowly decaying our beautiful planet, and i would like this blog to be a sign of coming times. A sign of coming hardships, if we do not stop this mass suicide attempt.

For, whatever is happening to the planet is our own fault. Some may pass it as mass extinction theory - the way the dinosaurs died out, we will eventually too. But i think that is escapism. They do not want to come face to face with the fact that we are sliding towards our doom, and for all we know, we might have just missed the last niche to hold on to.

I am not trying to be cynical nor pessimistic, but i am trying to make a world where there would be no use for a blog of this kind. A perfect world. But as a perfect world is fictional even beyond the limits of this blog itself, i will continue my next post with the topic of our solar system, the different bodies loating around in it, and which planet might be the next best habitat for the humans after earth is choked with CO2.
