Once again, we restart the core of Mars like in that one TOTES SCIENTIFICALLY ACCURATE FILM of the same name (the core).
All we need is seven people willing to die for the sake of science.

Thanks, Grak, for reminding of that piece of shit.

I need to go scrub my brain now.

Anywhozits, I say I'll need access to uploading facilities so I can oversee the terraforming efforts. Which means that we should invest in research into possible methods of uploading once we have the money.

It actually follows a pretty similar formula.

1: Nobody quite knows what will happen, but they send the morons along anyway
2: MAGMA EVERYWHERE (repeats indefinitely)
3: Something goes wrong, it messes up, but they fix it. One guy dies in the process.
4: The problem had consequences, killing another guy before it is fixed for good.
5: The plan continues as normal
6: The plan won't really work
7: Almost everyone goes insane, then get killed to try and continue the plan.
8: The sane ones GTFO.

That's actually a decent enough plot synopsis too. It was pretty terrible.

You can make cheap musket balls by pouring molten lead through a sieve in the vacuum of space, then catching the balls with a large sphere of water! And all you need is a low Earth orbit, some molten lead, a sieve, someone willing to play Touhou with burning metal in order to catch all the bullets and zero safety measures! And you get cheap musket balls for use in space muskets! Awesome!!

Or we could build a device to send space junk raining down upon who we are fighting.  I think there are thousands of bits big enough, that if entered earth's atmosphere at the right angle, would impact the ground.

Unfortunately, most of those bits are active sattelites. The old ones are often smaller.

Besides, don't expect them to do more than local destruction. They'll have about the same impact of a V-2, probably less.

Active sattelites would probably be devestating too, not only because they crash, but mostly because they are sattelites being used for something.
All people that research the universe and stuff would go in a huge nerd rage.
And lots of people would get lost due to the lack of GPS.
