A nostalgic variant that insists space colonies must feel like
Earth: blue skies, green hills,
fresh rain. Adherents reject sterile, metal habitats; they want simulated (or terraformed) environments that mimic the home planet. Their aesthetic is “
Earth, but portable.” It’s cosmic escapism for the homesick, preserving not just species but smells, sounds, and seasons.
Earthian Cosmic Escapism Example: “The Earthian
cosmic escapist designed a Martian dome with artificial clouds and a simulated
breeze. ‘I need to feel
rain,’ he said, ‘or it’s not home.’”
