Madcap ideas time: move Io inside of Jupiter's roche limit so Jupiter can have nicer rings and we can mine its materials easier.

Io, the official moon of shitting in your neighbor's yard in broad daylight

Why do people actually think we might colonize other planets and moons?

Mars
>radiated as fuck 24/7, have to live underground
>low gravity disintegrates body over time and prevents reproduction
>toxic soil covering entire world

Mercury
>radiated as fuck 24/7, have to live underground
>low gravity disintegrates body over time and prevents reproduction
>very high dv to reach

Venus
>acid bath pressure cooker atmosphere
>nearly impossible to return from
>toxic soil covering entire world

Moon
>radiated as fuck 24/7, have to live underground
>low gravity disintegrates body over time and prevents reproduction
>toxic soil covering entire world

Ganymede

Europa
>radiated as fuck 24/7, have to live under the ice
>low gravity disintegrates body over time and prevents reproduction

Callisto

Io is unironically the best place aside from Earth to live in the entire solar system since it is protected from major radiation, and yet it's still a crazy volcanic wasteland with no atmosphere.
