There's a fuck ton of ice on Mars and NONE OF YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT IT
-
2018-01-12 at 9:01 PM UTCForgetting about labour, money, technology or anything like that, where is the energy for all this terraforming supposed to come from?
Living on Mars would be like living at the bottom of a flask of liquid Nitrogen. It's totally stupid to even want to go next or near the place. -

Also see my post about placing a magnetic satellite between mars and the sun to help shield it from solar radiation.
and if you believe you can make / release co2 gases faster than the sun could sweep them into space,
your a retard. -

Originally posted by 哈哈你看不懂中文 Realistically, it is an excellent opportunity for mining. The existence of underground ice means it was probably geologically active at some point. Silicon, iron, oxygen, magnesium, probably some other shit. Mars is relatively close and can be mined by robots in a space where there is no real jurisdiction. Massive amount of money to be made on Mars.
Which mineral resources are worth more than the cost of interplanetary mining and transport? Pretty sure silicon, iron, and oxygen aren't. -

2018-01-13 at 8:30 AM UTCThey should really bomb mars and hopefully manage to make it uninhabitable to humans for a long time so they'll abandon these idiotic ideas of colonizing, wasting my tax dollars I could one day be paying and private sector money that could be put to better use. As an anti-natalist, I feel this is justified as it would reduce the chance of the survival of the human race.
Right after we nuke the whales.
Gotta nuke something. -
2018-01-13 at 8:32 AM UTCYou don't pay taxes, faggot.
-
2018-01-13 at 8:32 AM UTCI pay taxes and i want it all sent to Mars.

2018-01-13 at 8:32 AM UTCIn pennies

2018-01-13 at 8:52 AM UTCFuture tax dollars.

2018-01-13 at 9:05 AM UTCI WONDER how far the shockwave of a nuke would travel underwater.

2018-01-13 at 9:08 AM UTCWouldn't it be great if this did end up being an alien spaceship and it killed us all? I'm willing to die in peace if everyone else dies too.

Originally posted by Fox Paws I feel like you’re not understanding what I’m saying. I know mars has less than 1% the atmosphere of earth, I’m talking about introducing certain gases into the atmosphere to heat it just enough to release the frozen carbon dioxide at the poles which would raise the temperature even further. Have you done much research on this subject?
just one thing, where the fuck is all this gas coming from exactly? i mean we're talking whole planet atmosphere levels of gases here. that's a hell of a lot of fucking gas, you don't just pull that shit out of thin air, oh wait, oh err, no lol.

given enough water and enough energy, lots of h2 and o can be made. the only question is how fast are they capable being made.

It's really not that hard. Monumentous, but we could probably do it. 'a whole planet' of gas is less than you think. Just look at how we're terraforming our own planet. By accident. If we needed a good, available compound to create a thicker atmosphere on mars, we would create it. Stay alive till 2118 and see how much cool shit we do. -

our planet, like venus, came preloaded with atmosphere.
