[QUOTE]Originally posted by Sol System: [QB] Infrastructure? A hatchet, maybe a herd. You're all set! (As for locating suitable colony sites, well, it depends on the telescopes available, but if they can resolve individual planets they can tell if they've got oxygen on them, at least.) But, of course, some group could have very well considered that, and we never got to hear about it on account of the show was cancelled. And we don't really know what the high tech terraforming equipment looks like, or how large a box it requires. Anyway, the problem with it being in a single system is: that's an awful lot of Earth-sized bodies (or Earth-densitied), even taking moons into consideration. (And I question whether even one of those superjovians we know exist now could have more than a handful of roughly Earth-sized moons.) Also, there are, I think, several bits of dialogue that suggest a wider scope. But who knows? (Also also: No one ever mentions how fast they're going, so I don't think that's a point in either direction.) I think "Out of Gas" might make more sense in interstellar space too, maybe, on account of a star system being big for people but small for radio waves. On the other hand, if they span across multiple systems then their communications network, the Cortex, must do likewise, since they often pick up information from other planets on it. So, I don't know. [/QB][/QUOTE]
