No no. Lets carve a planet to be a face. Pluto should look like Pluto from Mickey Mouse. We can make Mars into the Roman Mars/ Greek Ares.

I think that would have unforeseen consequences.

Can you imagine what some alien race finding our solar system would think if we did that and then got wiped out?

A pyramid that pokes right out of the breathable atmosphere.  With an escalator on the side, so you can build space-stations on top of it and just shove them off to whatever orbit you want.

And that's why Aqizzar is the goddamn Baron.

They would find our DNA and resurrect us, because clearly we are the superior race.

We need to engrave our moon to look like the one in Majora's Mask.

Face-side in. Now we'll literally have faces on the moon. Stick colonies into the eyes to give them the glowing eyes look as well.

Fuck yes. Next project: World happiness. Make laser tag gear for the entire world, and everybody packs in to Dubai, New York, San Fran, Japan, London, Moscow, and a couple of other big cities. Obviously, it will be packed. The person who wins in their city now owns the entire city.

We could also launch a worldwide five month long game of zombie tag.

Okay okay, let's start simple.  We need a megaproject that can use all the unskilled labor in the world, and still look awesome.

Let's do this the old fashioned way.  A pyramid.  A pyramid that pokes right out of the breathable atmosphere.  With an escalator on the side, so you can build space-stations on top of it and just shove them off to whatever orbit you want.

hell yes! who need a space elevator when you've got a space escalator!?!?

Terraforming Venus is actually easier than Mars, because Venus has two things Mars doesn't: Atmosphere and gravity to better hold it in. The upper atmosphere of Venus is actually sort-of habitable already for plants because it has Earth-like temperatures and pressures up there.

If we want to get rid of Venus's extra atmosphere, we can always slam Kuiper Belt or Oort Cloud objects into it. That one little ball they used to call a planet is too big for the purpose.

But that's beside the point. Humanity's megaproject? Interstellar travel.

Leave Venus alone!

You'd kill the poor Venusian lifeforms just so you can breathe on a planet a little closer to the sun? BARBARIANS!

Lets just build a planet, and carve a face into it. This way we don't have to worry about destroying things. Bonus points if you can live on it.

Did someone mention pyramids?

In all seriousness though, a structure of that scale would require a large percentage of the world's workforce to build, as well as being extremely impractical for human habitation. Still, it's cool to think about.
