Scientific paper

It is argued that terraforming of a variety of extra-solar planets may provide humanity with the expertise needed to avert the next glacial period, if economic competition and its requirement of profitability allow a step-by-step development through the advances required for space-based civilization, interstellar flight, and semiautonomous robotic manufacturing. Technological, economic, and biological constraints on engineering progress are discussed. A scenario for interstellar travel and terraforming is presented.
