// TERRAFORMING 06 — BIOGENESIS & SOIL
SpaceROADMAP

From regolith to soil. Carefully.

The biological pathway — pioneer extremophiles, oxygenating cyanobacteria, and regolith-to-soil genesis — pursued under strict planetary-protection and reversibility constraints.

Pioneers
Extremophile + cyanobacteria studies
Soil genesis
Regolith to growth medium
Gated
By planetary protection + policy

// WHERE THE LINE IS

Confined to sealed analog and enclosure research. Open-environment release is not on our roadmap.

Horizon: Century-scale

Ethics is a boundary condition

Introducing life to another world is irreversible in a way concrete is not. We treat planetary protection, contamination, and the question of whether we should as first-order constraints — not afterthoughts. This work stays inside sealed enclosures and analogs.
