Terraforming Mars may be less far-fetched than thought
Original: 🧪🔭🪐 Could we terraform Mars? Warming the planet may be more plausible than once thought, but that is only step one. Mars
New discussion suggests warming Mars could be more achievable than scientists once believed, reviving debate about terraforming the Red Planet. But advocates caution that raising temperatures is only the first step: Mars would still have a thin atmosphere, intense radiation and no breathable air, leaving enormous obstacles before humans could live there unprotected.
Why now: Fresh commentary arguing planetary warming on Mars is more plausible than previously thought has reignited debate over whether terraforming is realistic.
