them: “oh thank you mister ship you’re so sexy ah ha you transformed Mars from a barren and inhospitable wasteland to an oceanic paradise for us to live on... how Earthseed of you...”
me, raising my arms towards the sky as the eerily silent silhouettes of enormous ships block the stars like someone tore a hole out of Heaven itself, rain streaming down my face: “I didn’t do it for YOU”
them: “what... babe don’t you think that’s enough water... the sea levels were fine...”
me: “god promised not to destroy the Earth with a flood ever again; he said nothing about Mars”
[doors open on the underbellies of the great starships and whales begin to rain out of the sky]
me: “AH HA HA HA HA... AH HAHAHAHAHAHAA!!!”
Terragenesis (the mobile app pictured here) is one of the most satisfactorily available apps that explain terraforming well enough to the general public and I recommend it a lot to beginning astronomers and astrophysicists. The only beef I have with it is that terraforming Mars is stupid and also dumb but oh well
