To the best of my ability I write about my experience of the Universe Past, Present and Future

Where the concept of "Terraforming" actually came from:

 The concept of terraforming developed from both science fiction and actual science. Carl Sagan, an astronomer, proposed the planetary engineering of Venus in 1961, which is considered one of the first accounts of the concept.[1] The term was coined by Jack Williamson in a science-fiction short story ("Collision Orbit") published in 1942 in Astounding Science Fiction,[2] although terraforming in popular culture may predate this work.

Ideas often "Bubble UP" from science Fiction short or long stories and over time radically can change the world "Hopefully in a good way".

But more likely most scientific advancements are both good an bad.

For example, a Gasoline or diesel engine is good in that every family who can afford to buy or rent one can have one at least for the day (if they actually take time to learn to drive).

But, Diesel and Gasoline engines also pollute the air a lot worldwide especially when in the U.S. engines burned leaded Gas from

    Next, we should look at electric vehicles that pollute the air much less.
    However, the problem with all electric vehicles is that if you don't somehow recycle the batteries and motors and generators then you pollute the land even more than the Gasoline and diesel engine cars do. So, Electric vehicles make cleaner air while making earth and water unmanageable in the future if all batteries and motors are not recycled somehow into new electric vehicles.
