C A planet with neon and helium as major parts of its atmosphere doesn't have much of one to begin with: Noble gases are rare.

A might aswell run a quick sweep while they are awake. Then back to cyro.

B,F Thomas can handle the next two awakenings, and we'll of course be awake for arrival.

Medical, Officers, Security, Leave the rest till we have a better idea of the situation.

.... How could we get climate data without atmospheric data? Anyways, given that the planet is still so young, it is probably still very geologically active. So F, so we don't build our colony on a fault line.

Why in the future are we still using imperial units? The wardens are really failing us if they're giving atmospheric pressure in psi and not bar or atm. On the atmosphere: It's about 1.3x the pressure of earth's atmosphere at sea level, which doesn't sound too bad. It would feel heavier than on earth, but you should be able to get used to it. However, the big problem is that 17% of the air is CO2. Given the higher pressure, it's the equivalent of 22% of earths air being CO2 (on earth it is 0.04%). CO2 isn't normally toxic, but at such high levels you will take in CO2 from the air instead of exhaling it when you breathe in. This means you blood has too high levels of CO2, which acidifies in solution to form carbonic acid and turns your blood acidic (Around pH 5 I think). Which of course will throw your entire biosystem out of wack and kill you. Safe levels of CO2 are under 1% for constant exposure, and around 3% for long term exposure with noticeable effects on your breathing. But reducing the CO2 concentration by such levels, even if achievable, may cool the planet even further than before due to lack of greenhouse gases, obviously a undesirable trait. The low oxygen partial pressure is more workable. around 7.8% at earth levels, or a third of earth's oxygen partial pressure. This is low, but we know humans can adapt to quite low oxygen concentrations: At 5000m above sea level on earth, the oxygen partial pressure is about 11%, and there are permanent communities living at those altitudes. With the help of some genetic engineering, we may be able to avoid the need to increase the oxygen concentration of the atmosphere. Anyways Terra Nova I'm bad at names, so let's go with some latin. BC We A. don't want to lose anything in a earthquake: they should be rather common on this world B. need POWER! H Keeping them in cyro doesn't cost anything: Shelve them for now and come back to the issue later. Nothingtoseehere fucked around with this message at 14:54 on Oct 30, 2016 |

Option 6: Add a large-scale dye to the ice to blacken it and lower its Albedo, causing the ice to absorb more sunlight and melt.

If we are doing bioenginering, we also want to up the size/efficiency of our lungs. The partial pressure of oxygen on Hooboy even before any terraforming are close enough to human survivable (By sherpa's and those acclimatised to it) that with some tweaking we can probably have people walking around Hooboy without oxygen tanks.

Guys, we can always go into cyro for another few decades while we try to melt the ice. We're in no rush: take things slow and steady. B D K

Yea, we need to terraform Hooboy before we start building stuff on it. How long can our current awake population live on the ship?
