The desperate attempt to colonize another planet to rescue an Earth society that has disintegrated due to the disastrous collapse of all financial institutions.
A hundred years from now on Earth societey has degenerated worldwide into a stark division between those who have financial wealth and security and those living in desperate poverty within wasteland settlements.
George Armstrong, a multi billionaire head of a Space Station re-supply company embarks on a project to address the acute social problems by colonising a planet.
He embarks on a literally epic earth-moving project to re-engineer a planet within our solar System and to physically re-locate it to a new orbit close to Earth by deliberately striking it with Asteroids that are towed out of their orbits by rockets to drive it into a new orbital path and then to alter the hostile environment so that it can sustain and be survivable for mankind.
The planet selected for relocation is Venus.
