Dimitris Dimitriou

Mr Dimitris Dimitriou

In the early 2020's there was one man with a great vision. His vision is what defines the world to this day. His name will always be remembered as long as the human race survives. For this man, called Dimitris Dimitriou, was responsible for sending the first terraformers to Mars
— David Arnolds, Terraforming and the ACTC
  Dimitris Dimitriou was, and is, one of The Sol System's most famous visionarys. Everybody knows the name Dimitris Dimitriou, not only because it is memorable, but because his vision of terraforming, aided by the terraforming technology that he helped to create with his wife, managed to turn most of The Sol System's empty, barren rocks into lush, living planets and planemos.   It is important to remember that although Dimitris was the main visionary, he was aided by a team that included his wife, Janet Dimitriou, who is most famous for being the first person to grow a banana tree on Mars.   Dimitris was present at several ceremonies to officially 'open' planets which had been terraformed and set up the ACTC.

Personal history

I can almost see a future in which humanity has spread across our home system, and maybe even beyond the heliosphere, all we need is the tools and the aid of a computer.
— Dimitris Dimitriou, 2023 terraforming speech
  Dimitris always had had the idea to allow people to create new worlds, originally wanting to become a game designer, he studied programming at university, where he decided that robots, and hopefully later humans, could be sent to other planets and moons to make them habitable and allow expansion into new uncharted worlds. His robots were first deployed in 2020 on Mars, and humans first landed on Mars a few years later, where they helped the robots already there to finish the terraforming process whilst using new equipment.   Dimitri continued to develop new technology to aid the terraforming process with the support of his team (especially his wife) until his death, and his work remains a major influence in terraforming today.
