The Red Mars series by Kim Stanley Robinson shows this very well.
An interesting concept that appeared in various forms of science fiction is terraforming, which is the science of altering a planet’s environment so that it could be colonized. If we perfect this technology and improve space travel, we could colonize the entire solar system and maybe even some of the surrounding solar systems, which would allow humanity to establish an interstellar empire. I am thinking of tinkering with this idea with my sequel series since it revolves around a futuristic society. If we had this technology and space travel was at its maximum potential, how many planets would we be able to colonize in a few thousand years?
Celtic Fairies, Fables, and Folklore! Bestselling author (top #100 Amazon Canada, #1 in Paranormal Fantasy, Amazon Canada) Christy Nicholas, also known as Green Dragon, is an author, artist and accountant. After she failed to become an airline pilot, she quit her ceaseless pursuit of careers that begin with 'A', and decided to concentrate on her writing. Since she has Project Completion Disorder, she is one of the few authors with NO unfinished novels. Christy has her hands in many crafts, including digital art, beaded jewelry, writing, and photography. In real life, she's a CPA, but having grown up with art all around her (her mother, grandmother and great-grandmother are/were all artists), it sort of infected her, as it were. She wants to expose the incredible beauty in this world, hidden beneath the everyday grime of familiarity and habit, and share it with others. She uses characters out of time and places infused with magic and myth. Combine this love of beauty with a bit of financial sense and you get an art business. She does local art and craft shows, as well as sending her art to various science fiction conventions throughout the country and abroad.
