I have decided to explore a range of astro and geo engineering projects in a series of posts.
Whilst I am stepping outside my comfort zone in relation to the physics involved it is a topic for which I have a great interest and I will do my best to set out the information in as clear a way as possible and who knows me might just learn something along the way.

Following an informational introduction to the series and background information, I plan to include the following mega-scale projects;
- Dyson Spheres, Rings, Swarms and variants
- Alderson Disks
- Stellar Engines
- Jupiter Brains
As well as several smaller and currently more practical projects;
- Large Scale Space Stations
- Moon Bases
- Space Elevators
- Large Scale Mass Drivers
Along with Terraforming – the adaptation of alien worlds to serve the needs of life currently present here on Earth, including humans.
Finally I aim to cover a few example s of advanced technology that could be possible in the near future in relation to astrophysics and space travel
- Artifical Gravity
- Artifical Intelligences
- Large Scale Starships
- Von-Neumann Devices
- Self-Replicating Artifical Life
