LAWL I'M SORRY >< EDIT: Omg... you beat me to it >< Sounds good in theory, but finding the brave souls who would go out there for a year or so (was it a year to get to Mars? Or 3 years? I forgot) is going to be the hardest obstacle. | ||

 As for Mars, in current times the cost would be too great for the world, I'm not even sure we have the resources on earth to 'terraform' anything. | ||

I think at some point terraforming might be possible, but for now it certainly is not. Posing the question "should we lazer cannon or nuke the ice" wont get a thread anywhere imo. I could be wrong but I would think it to be more realistic that we first develop a way of getting there adequately. Best to "cross that bridge" when we get to it kinda thing. | ||

Now, according to MARSIS, the south pole of the planet Mars contains an enormous amount of ice, enough to engulf the whole planet in 10 meters of water. If we could focus a laser beam or some controlled explosion on this chunk of ice, terraforming Mars would be an much simpler process. "A much simpler process"? If you want to talk about terraforming Mars, you should start by figuring out how we're going to give it a proper, denser atmosphere and a warmer surface temperature. Then the ice would melt on its own, anyway (and stay melted, for that matter). Then we'd have to find a way to stop all life from getting irradiated to death by the solar wind, since Mars isn't protected by a magnetic field like the Earth is. I guess it's nice to know for sure that there's water there already so that we don't need to import it ourselves. But we still have a lot to figure out. | ||

If they don't fight during transport (which would result in the end of the known universe anyways) they can do the work with ease, and with bare hands. So there is no need to focus laser beam and we can keep BlueRay supplies for manufacturing PS3. All we need actually is for the governor of California to join his middle fingers so his hand can fit the switch, and then push it. It's going to be cool, but I am against the use of nuclear weapon for that end. I'll volunteer to go too. | ||

Whenever I think of Mars now, i think of Futurama and Amy. She owns a boogaloo farm on mars... And doesn't Mars have some crazy extreme temperatures? Like the shade gets real cold and the hot parts get really hot? Or izz that the moonyville? | ||
