#gas mining

A: Become leader of a small, newly terraformed swamp planet colonization team of an interstellar (human, with FTL, lets say around 1000 star systems) civilization in the far future (where aliens have not been encountered), you will be in charge of a small team of 12 other people and millions of robots to prepare the planet for inhabitation (and will be fairly compensated based on your work, the civilization in question is whatever you personally consider closest to a utopia) you will have to live on the planet afterwards, you have 5 years before the first batch of 10,000 colonists arrive. B: Become a low ranking noble in an interstellar feudal human civilization in the far future (with FTL, lets say 10,000 star systems) (where aliens have not been encountered) in charge of a single recently colonised gas giant (where a layer of atmosphere has been made breathable, and people live on floating cities extracting gas from lower layers) you are obligated to live on your planet, manage its government, military and finances independantley, pay taxes to your liege, and produce heirs. Your planet has a population of 500 million.

Students from LIU Global Australia just watched the film "Gasland" which uncovers the negative effects of "fracking" or natural gas mining. It is well worth a watch if you would like to know more about what is happening to many residents in the U.S. (some are able to light the water that comes out of the tap on fire due to the unsafe mining practices...disgusting!) and perhaps somewhere you live too! Be educated, get educated, take action.
