Thanks. I agree we'll need a good fiction I just wanted a few opinions to base
them on.

Great paper. The time frame sounds reasonable. Mars, which is in some ways
ideal, would have a barely habitable environment after 100 years of work
(thickend atmosphere, warmer) but unprotected living would take 100,000 years
-- perhaps only 10,000 if oxygen production were actively managed. Game time
might be longer as many of the better canidates have already been altered.

This essay was intrested more in describing and selling fractal cube robots
then in actual terraforming. I saw no mention of time frame or how they move
from self contained biosystems to altering the worlds chemistry. Still I like
their Genesis device and it fits with my ideas on the already terraformed
worlds, though IC ya'll don't know that.
