Episode Notes
Someday, humans may live around Neptune and the Trans-Neptunian region, where they'll export terraforming gases, fuel for fusion reactors, conduct vital research, and gaze out into the Universe! With the right strategies and technologies, there could be a branch of humanity someday known as Neptunians, Plutonians (or Hadeans), and Ice Belters!
