Evogrid #2: The Asteroid Eaters features a whimsical vision for how Humanity might one day populate the solar system (asteroids and comets) with artificially evolved creatures. These creatures are evolved digitally on the surface of a virtually modeled asteroid within the EvoGrid Simulation Cube and then launched on a rocket housing a nano-fabricator. Upon arriving at the target asteroid, the nano-critters are fabricated and emerge to live natively on the asteroid. In their bellies they carry other astro-biological forms that create lichens on the surface of the asteroid. The critters and their symbiotic lichens then cover the surface of the planetoid and provide resources for visiting human-crewed spacecraft. This work was inspired by the celestial trees of Freeman Dyson.
