Now we just need it for humans as well :)

@Axelerator if it works, human trials could be in a few years.

@basilfawlty89 Hopefully. It will be a great thing, but will also have large and far reaching consequenses and downsides over time.

@Axelerator I have faith in humanity, we can address issues as they come up.

@basilfawlty89I do to an extent as well, but not with things like this. By the time it's an issue, it's already affecting many millions potentially, we shall have to see what happens :)

@Axelerator eh we'll likely start terraforming planets in a few generations whether or not we do it. We'll be fine, assuming climate change doesn't destroy us first.

@basilfawlty89 That would be cool and i hope that's the case, although things like teraforming and FTL travel are at this point abstract. I feel either scientists make the breakthrough sometime soon, or they end up spending 500 years doing it, would be most interesting to see all these things though :)

@Axelerator indeed, and I'd love to be alive when it happens.
