habitats

The bottom of the sea is as unexplored as space, creating self-sufficient habitats in both places poses similar technological challenges.

We've destroyed a lot of natural habitats, and we know that these habitats contain a great deal of biodiversity.

Borneo used to be covered in forest that was home to one of richest habitats in the world.

An excellent approach would be to develop robots smart enough to build habitats that humans could use.

I don't think it's fair to include wheel-shaped space habitats (like the one from Elysium) with Niven-style ringworlds.

True, absent the consideration of enclosed habitats on Mars that are self sufficient.

I have believed for a long time that the moral imperative of humanity as a species is to propagate the Earth ecosystem to other planets and in artificial space habitats.

In addition, this species destroys the habitats of many other species.

As for habitats, forget the suburbs: the real habitat-mangler is agriculture.

There have been a number of underwater habitats built (both for science and nominally living quarters) so there are reports you can read on the experience.

Places – habitats – are stripped down to decimal places.

We won't convert the Ort cloud to habitats with solar.

In particular a 'huge asteroid' could not be mitigated by "diving into a trench", water is incompressible by nature and the impact of an asteroid in the ocean would cause a huge over-pressure event in your habitats, where ever they are, resulting in their destruction.

I don't think we disagree on too much here, and I see your point - but the thing to remember is that, for some people in your "life will go on" scenario, life will in fact not go on if the habitats they rely on for survival are destroyed, even if to you and I those ecosystems are merely an enormous benefit, not a necessity.
