Total mirror area is that big, not each individual mirror. A swarm of smaller mirrors will accomplish the same task. This scale is piecemeal once you start scaling up automated space manufacturing to the point where you're around 0.1% of the manufacturing base needed to build a proper Dyson Swarm. Send a factory that can build copies of itself and robotic mining stations and mirror factories to the asteroid belt, and direct the geometric growth of your space industrial infrastructure from home. Even better, after these factories make the mirrors and lasers to terraform Mars, they can keep making mirrors to get started on that Dyson Swarm.

To be fair that's all it will ever be is an idea, these ideas are cool, but assuming we will ever be able to create space mirrors the size of continents, "mass drivers" that shoot things into space and towards planets accurately, space lasers, a giant superconductor ring powered by nuclear reactors that I guess just don't need monitored or maintained? None of this is possible in any foreseeable future, let alone the claimed 60-100 years they are claiming. It will be hundreds of years before we even have the technology to BEGIN thinking about PLANNING any of these things.

Please make a videogame about terraforming (could be throughout the entire solar system with increasing difficulty per planet). With your style - as perfectly shown in this video - this would look soo good, with a nice UI, achievements, visual progression. Plus it would be powered by all the knowledge you guys have about how something like this could work, so it would not only feel super educational but also scientific, maybe having game modes for both younger and older audiences.

For anyone into the concepts in this video I wholeheartedly recommend reading/listening to the Red Mars trilogy. It’s a clifi story centered around the terraforming (and politics surrounding the ways to do or not do it) set in a narrative with a good cast of characters sent to be the “first hundred”. It’s not flashy, but as hard scifi and clifi goes it’s a masterpiece.

We need a laser twice as powerful as the best one we have today, and more importantly it must run continuously, not for 0.000,000,000,001 second. We need 10,000,000 square kilometers worth of mirrors to power that laser. We need to get to Titan, set up a factory, and a launching site with mass drivers. We need a huge space station with a current moved in Mars' L1 point. Meanwhile 8% of our rocket launches last year (mostly to Low Earth Orbit, not doing never-before-seen things) failed. We'll probably set foot on Mars in a decade or two, maybe even a small base, but I'd be shocked to see even so much as a Mars city in my lifetime.
