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..
1. Obviously. But will it be worth it?
2. Seeing as we don't even have the tech to start, yep, it will be.
3. Why not?
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 .
For a certain definition of "you," yes. The "you" being blown around will probably be most of you, just not all in one piece. Hurricane-force dust-storms are scary.
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 .
We'll weaponize it the same way we weaponize a biome that raises zombies: Lock ourselves up and wait for it to tear the invaders apart.

Good idea. But where will we get the adamantine?
Don't we have a committee working on how to synthesize it? If not, the magma sea of Mars is mostly solid, so it should be easier to dig around inside and go looking...especially if I make some giant dragon-mole thingies that eat rock first...
Ahum. Airpressure on Mars is extremely low. 500km/ hour winds might seem strong, but in fact they are nothing.
The dust they blow around is something, though. Normal sandstorms muck up electronics. Super-fast duststorms? They'd probably be far more destructive...
