In reply to the discussion: Terraforming Mars [View all]Last edited Sat Oct 6, 2012, 05:05 AM - Edit history (1)
are right. far flung or not. We would destroy. No preaching, just stating truth as I see and have experienced. Pessimist? Disparager? misanthopic. I'm been called all of them. Not without reason. I believe what I do, as you do, so.
But people like you may one day find a way to change the way humans do things....I mean it, good luck. I need a drink.
from today 10-6-12, read about the ice caps and gush about that and the reason(s) why. and I take back my earlier statement about finding a way to do things differently for the better. Humans are destroyers. Period. In this age it's been because of greed and the concurrent viciousness.

Dead, or dormant? Earth had long "dead" periods. Our propulsion methods are deficient.

Well, the "no magnetic field" thing is significant, but Curiosity has pretty much proven water.

More to the point, what kinds of life has Mars sent here? And not just mars, asteroids.
