Why mess around with terraforming? It looks expensive, dangerous, and somewhat useless. How about staying up in our space colonies with variable gravity, 24 hour a day sunshine, controlled climate, and all the comforts of home. We can enjoy the view, get ready for generational ships to the asteroid field of Vega, and maybe avoid screwing the solar system up. I must admit terraforming is fun to speculate on, but lets keep it theoretical folks.
