Earth is fucked and I want to a dragon...
Just hear me out....
Look... we could go hunting for some other Goldilocks planet to seed and terraform... but there is one nearby. VENUS!
Put up a big ass network of solar collectors in orbit, start cooling it down. Crash some big comets into it for more water and 02... start terraforming!
Gravity is a pleasant .9G, thicker atmo and higher 02 content means flying is much easier!
Maybe a little terrain sculpting to add some more cool mountains..

@Angle Also down for that! But if we are slapping a big reflector/collector in orbit... it probably wouldn't be difficult to gravity tractor something big enough to help with the rotational issues...
Hell let's strap some rockets onto Titan and boost it over. Now there plenty of hydrocarbons for centuries...
Okay this is sounding like a lot of work... space dragon bodies are probably easier..

@wobblewuffess Haha yeah, probably. Though really, at that point it's less about work and really just comes down to how you want to spend your joules. I'm not sure what our total joule budget is for sol system, but I'm pretty sure that wouldn't even make a dent. XD

Personally.. crazy stellar engineering sounds waaaay more fun that just building a matrioshka swarm so... I'm down!

@wobblewuffess Haha yeah same. XD

@wobblewuffess Needs more rotation and some engineering done on the plate tectonics. :P
Though honestly, I'd honestly lean more towards reengineering ourselves than reengineering other planets. Gimme some bitchin wings and a nanotechnological body that can survive in space. :P
