Take a look at this article... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terraform Then tell me what you think about Terraforming?? |

I can see how this would be possible in principle, but I don't think that we could ever actually achieve it. This is something that would take thousands of years, go thru many generations of people, and that would take a very large commitment and a huge amount of funding. I do not think that it would be possible to maintain this project thru all of the generations that it would require and I don't think that we would ever be able to come up with enough funds to even attempt the project. I can't see too many people be willing to have money taken out of their taxes to terraform Mars. It would be interesting to see this successfully occur however. ![]() ![]() |

Once mankind has finished trashing this planet then whatever evolves to take our place probably will have to terraform it to make it livable. Klatu barrata nicktoe. |
