I have a slight reputation amongst my follow chatterers at writechat.net of attracting plot bunnies.  They do seem to appear from the most innocuous things.  But when I read the likes of the following from Project Boreas my brain explodes with them:

‘…spring [on Mars] might be advanced if the polar ice caps were destabilised, for instance by reducing their albedo with a layer of dust of plants. More speculatively, the planet’s precessional cycle might be adjusted with an artificial moon.’

I don’t think the science the first idea was based on stands up anymore, but it doesn’t mean you can make a planet that would react in that way. I love terraforming. Or better yet, altering people to survive in a particular environment…

And creating an artificial moon?  Whose brain went straight to the Death Star? 😀

The idea of life aboard the moon at various stages…though I have to admit, the idea of the moon at the end of its life, past its prime is fun.  Having to keep it going on limited resources when their work is vital to maintain the health of the planet they serve…

Nope. I am ignoring you, Bunny…
