Stop, stop! It's not going to be REMOTELY easy to make Mars warm and with a breatheable atmosphere; aside from some greenhouses, domes, and such, we should mostly be underground anyways, for protection. If all we had aboveground were solar power plants and piles of mine waste, that would be fine and ideal. Terraforming can wait until AFTER we conquer Terra and develop terraforming tech.

Or, we can engineer ourselves to be more tolerant of cold and high CO₂ concentrations.

1: I didn't say it would be easy.
2: It's a long term project.
3: we should not genetically modify ourselves. Try it out on yourself first, but whatever happens, don't say I didn't warn you..

actually most of mars atmosphere is just Co2 , so we will suffocate and my hemp won't grow underground .

Despite common belief, CO2 is completely harmless to anyone.

[brainfreez]

but Co2 alone won't feed a oxygen adapted creature .

read carefully "we will suffocate" not die from Co2

The extreme cold, underpressure and lack of oxygen are though.

[brainfreez]

also dust storms and the lack of magnetic field .

Have you heard of oxygen tanks? That divers use? We can make bigger ones.
We may even be ably to synthesise oxygen.

Dust storms are dust storms. Protective clothing? Spacesuits? If they worked in space, they'll work on mars.

Also, on the 'crash thread w/ logic' thing, we are human. We nailed our god to a stick! We're destroying our only planet! Who needs logic?

hey , if a 500km/h wind is blowing in your direction , not only it will rip your suit off but it will blow you around the planet .

Synthesising oxygen and hydrogen from water is actually the backbone of my entire going to Mars plan.

Martian dust storms are a bit more severe though. We're talking about things that can blot out the sun for months. They will do quite some damage. Luckily we can see them coming, as they are mostly stuck to a six year cycle.

Well it's a 500 km/h wind, but keep in mind that the pressure is much lower. I believe that it will only feel like about 50 km/h on Earth.

This is why some people want to live underground. We could also weaponise the dust storms.

[brainfreez]

how we will weaponise the storms ? we will build a huge tube aimed at earth and hope the wind will strike them ?  -_-

i suggest instead of weaponising the wind , we could make adamantine windmills and gather power .

Good idea. But where will we get the adamantine?

[brainfreez]

paint the iron blue .

Why not steel?
