As humans, we've always been curious about life beyond Earth. In this episode, we explore the possibilities of leaving our planet. Could we build a ring world in space, or is terraforming Venus a viable option for sustainable living? What materials would we need, and how would life on Venus differ from Earth? Before we venture into space, we ask: why should we leave Earth?
