VonHelton Posted February 21, 2005 Share Posted February 21, 2005 Earth soil could remedy this problem possibly. If only specific needed ammounts were delivered..... or no? For glass domes, yes....... For blue sky on Mars, no way......... :stare: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Relentless Posted February 21, 2005 Share Posted February 21, 2005 Do you think the idea of 'domes' and confined enviroments of developmental stages could possibly in the future help mars prepare for a breathable atmosphere for us humans down here?

Relentless Posted February 21, 2005 Share Posted February 21, 2005 "For us humans down here" had nothing to do with earth, I meant for us humans as a whole down on earth as to get up to mars; I was asking you if you thought the idea had any possibility of being successfull eg, slowly creating an atmosphere for mars so we could breathe it for example.

Hell yea......!! A breathable atmosphere is very possible. Had they started in the 60's or 70's, we'd be a 4th of the way there by now, if we pushed our efforts. :stare: Terraforming is very possible........There may be a few bumps along the way, but it's doable. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Relentless Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 Best to beat the Russians before they become the next "Empire Take over the world type" right? Is that the sorta thing ya mean :)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psheldrake1 Posted February 22, 2005 Author Share Posted February 22, 2005 Mars has enough oxygen already. We just have to separate the carbon from the oxygen. Fertilizer could be shipped to augment the soil. The only problem is, you still need to warm the planet to release water from the depths. Shipping water would be very expensive. What's the weight 5 pounds a gallon. If we just bring up extra hydrogen a major problem is solved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our best hope is that the water that used to flow on the surface is underground, frozen solid. We need to launch those orbiting mirrors........!! :mad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daedrus Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 Shipping water is out of the question. The amount needed for the whole planet would weigh tons. Plus we'd have to get it from Earth.. and it'd pretty much be like taking alll the water off our planet to put it on another planet.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless Earth is struck by a huge meteor & flug out of its orbit like Mars was, we're in no danger of a water shortage. In fact, it might actually be benificial for Earth to give up some of its water....... The problem is transporting huge amouts of water, and protecting that water from radiation exposure. :thinking: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides we have plenty of room for development. Land & resources are limited. And as for waisting resources. Every day we see garbage on the streets. Maybe we should be sending our garbage to Mars. De-composting matter will heat up the planet in time for us. And supply some of the nutrients need for growth. With the mirrors Von suggested should work quite well. That reminds me of the episode of Futurama, when they had to blow up a ball of garbage with another ball of garbage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
