astroengineering

Astroengineering is the application of engineering principles to modify or control celestial bodies and environments beyond Earth. It involves designing and implementing large-scale projects like changing the climate of planets, redirecting asteroids, or creating sustainable habitats in space. The goal is to address cosmic challenges, support human space exploration, or potentially transform planetary conditions to make them more habitable. While still largely theoretical and experimental, astroengineering combines astrophysics, engineering, and planetary science to develop innovative solutions for working with the universe’s vast and complex systems.
