Last time, we talked about an Immature Type 3 civilization under the Civilizational Range Model. Today, we will be exploring a Mature Type 3 civilization and some of its defining characteristics!
According to Zubrin, “a major challenge that humans will face as we become a Type II and then Type III civilization is that of transforming the environments found on other planets to more Earth-like conditions. This must be done because environments friendly to life are a product of the activity of life.” In other words, when we begin exploring other Stellar Systems in our galaxy as an Immature Type 3, it is unlikely that we will find worlds that meet our needs. So, we will simply have to transform the environments of these worlds according to our liking if we are to advance to the next stage in our civilizational evolution. This process of planetary engineering on different worlds is referred to as ‘terraforming’. So, how would we even begin such a monumental task? Well, Zubrin suggests a few possible ideas for different worlds!
