SO im really high and was thinkin mars is too cold and the metal core is only partly liquid. causing it to only have part of a magnetosphere. also there is frozen water on mars. so if we warmed mars up the core would melt restoring the magnetosphere melting the oceans. thus stableizing the planet. well what if we created global warming on mars. but add much more gasses that would create a much more denser atmosphere then all we gotta do is plant trees which we could geniclly enginer to grow super fast and stop at a to tall hight and make it so it doesnt seed. so we can plant normal ones later. the trees would create more oxygen. and we could live there like earth. it would cost a lot but would be sick. idk im just baked
yes, if we terraform mars for a few hundred years we can live on it, same with any non gas giant planet, issue is distance still hahahaha, getting equipment there to do this would take so long we would all die before the process even began
well im thinkin if we found a some kind of gas that in a small amount will make the atmosphere dense way quicker. and we could do it with the money in 10 years
transporting a gas to a planet, in ships.... it would take BILLIONS of ships to even make that work.... we need to make it warm enough to grow algae there in massive qauntities, that shit produces atmospheric gasses like a pro.... course, heating up a huge rock with an atmosphere that doesnt like to retain heat, is super hard.
Scientists have a basic plan for how terraforming would work. First they'd set up "factories" which would collect Martian regolith and burn it, releasing perfluorocarbons, which are much better greenhouse gases than CO2, so they would be able to warm the planet and build up the atmosphere without having to bring gases from Earth. Once the planet gets warmer, the frozen ice and CO2 at the poles will melt and evaporate, allowing for liquid water on the surface and helping to build up the atmosphere. With liquid, a usable atmosphere, and decent heat near the equator, we could start bringing over microbes (starting with extremophiles and eventually photosynthetic bacteria). They'll help build up the atmosphere, adding oxygen and reducing CO2, and they'll generate organic waste that will build up in the soil and make it easier for plants to grow. When conditions are suitable for plants and trees, they'll be sent over. It would take large forests to generate enough oxygen for humans to be able to breathe the atmosphere. The whole process would take a couple hundred years, but it's feasible. The issue now is, "is it worth the cost?". Here's the documentary I got this info from, it's the first in a series (at least I think it's the same one).

Its worth the cost if earth gets used up, thats for sure, but is it worth the cost to those 10% of the people on earth that seem unaffected by the amount of resources we have, who also happen to be the ones with the power.... thats the question lol
Variable Specific Impulse Magnetoplasma Rocket - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Mars and back in 5-6 months
If that is fully utilized in our lifetimes hahahahaha, let alone the terraforming process is still much slower than the length of human life
Yeah, I was mainly referring to the mention of waiting to send stuff there, I should of just quoted that That's still badass though, with that engine we can actually explore our entire solar system with humans
if we could make antimatter drives we could explore the galaxy lol, but thats long long into the future hahahahah
It would just be so much easier lol, we need to get rid of the oil industry, its really not that fuckin hard lol. We should terraform mars anyway, but not put any life on it, and let its own life evolve there and see what happens in a billion and a half years hahahahah. Well, i guess terraforming requires life, but we should just let it go after we put microscopic life there
Haha, is it worth the cost? Of course it is, it's a whole nother fuckin planet for us to live on, how would that not be worth it?
Because we'll need to spend hundreds of billions of dollars on something that won't be completed until long after we're all dead (if it works at all). I agree with you, it's worth any cost since we're inevitably going to have to start sending people off of Earth even if we don't destroy it. But people are already bitching about the cost of a manned mission to Mars, and that's way, WAY easier and cheaper than terraforming the whole planet would be.
Awesome, but Mars i think would be too close for that to be feasble, The only time we will start to look for another 'earth' is when our Sun starts to die (if we last that long) and even then Mars is too close to us, we need a host planet in another solar system with a sun in it's early stages of life. Im so high and it probably doesn't make sense but thanks for sharing man
