Building an Artificial Planet

The longevity of Earth as a habitable planet is not guaranteed. Natural disasters like giant meteor impacts or other catastrophic events could one day render our home uninhabitable. As a species, we must consider our options for the future and explore the possibility of building colonies elsewhere in the universe. While space travel presents numerous complexities and uncertainties, the idea of constructing an entirely new planet ourselves has captured the imagination of many. While such concepts are often depicted in science fiction, the practicality of building an artificial planet raises significant challenges. Let us delve deeper into the various aspects and explore the possibilities and limitations of such an endeavor.
