Guys, I came up with a idea! plants need carbon dioxide, and mars' atmosphere is mostly C02, so if we 1: Made it actually freaking capable of raining water, and 2: Make it not as cold(pretty much the same thing as 1 in this case.)
We then can get plants like kudzu and BOOM! OXYGEN!

[GreatWyrmGold]

Why kudzu and not wheat, oak, grapes, or something?

Mars athmosphere is sadly mostly non existant. Your plants can't survive due to the extremely low pressure. This also prevents rain and partially causes the extremely low temperatures. Also, Mars hasn't got a decent soil. It's just infertile dirt and rocks.

I'd say we stick to NASA's 1500 year plan.

Changing the subject, does anyone know what the hell ever happened to Logistcs? Or Acetech for that matter? Did they both just simaltainiously die?

I have absolutely no idea.

They got buried in the thread. Forumgames moves faster than general discussion.

It doesnt have much use anymore tough, this thread is alot more tame then it used to be. Bumping it up wont be of much use.

How hard would it be to engineer a lichen that could survive in low pressure?

Pretty sure those already exist. So, pretty trivial.

I also know that some types of conifers can survive in absurdly low temperature/ oxygen/ air situations . While Mars is a bit too hard, they should be growing quite well after only minor terraforming.

Hey. Stop muscling in on my territory!

Anywhozits, I say we start with asteroids. Just because.

Just get some extremofiles.

Another problem might be if it is ethical to deploy these lifeforms on Mars. We might be destroying an entire ecosystem. We might kill the first extraterrestial live we ever meet.

... Non-sentient life. Which we could keep in laboratories. Or biodomes containing a replica of the pre-terraformed Martian environment.

Every survey and probe and robot has shown that there is no life on Mars bigger than a bacterium. Currently.

And since when are bacteria not important.

Problem is that first we'd have to check the entire surface for live to conserve and capture . If we dropped terraforming species, it might kill things we don't even know are there.

Ethical? There was a ecret service watchlist of people around not too long ago, and now I guess you're on it...
