Terraforming Mars may be more feasible than thought
Original: 🧪🔭🪐 Could we terraform Mars? Warming the planet may be more plausible than once thought, but that is only step one. Mars
A new discussion of Mars terraforming argues that warming the planet could be more plausible than previously believed, but stresses that heat is only the first step. Even a warmed Mars would keep a thin atmosphere, intense radiation and no breathable air, leaving the planet hostile to human life. Commenters are weighing how far science could realistically go in making Mars habitable.
Why now: Renewed debate over whether warming Mars is actually achievable has reignited interest in the practical limits of terraforming.
