…Really Out There?. "Some of the planets discovered around stars in our own Galaxy could be very similar to arid Tatooine, watery Scarif and even frozen Hoth, according to NASA scientists. Sifting through data on the more than 3,400 confirmed alien worlds, scientists apply sophisticated computer modeling techniques to tease out the colors, light, sunrise and sunsets we might encounter if we could pay them a visit.

It takes a specific type of biology to get free oxygen in the atmosphere. So, arid planets or cold planets or moons have to have some sort of biology going on elsewhere in the planet or there will not be breathable air. Scarif's Miami beach like world probably would support life especially well. Especially the retired. :) Another way people could live on these planets is that some sort of terraforming has to be done. This may take generations but robotic terraforming machines could be sent ahead, way ahead of settlers. |
