Mars Rotating with Oceans, Just Add Life

Two orbits around a possible future terraformed Mars, replete with oceans to a maximum depth of 9 kilometers and an ice cap.

How many Cubuc Miles of water do we need for this?

I'm just wondering if there are enough Comets in the Oort Cloud to provide the ice.

@LeoAutodidact Hmm I'll have to calculate that for ya

It won't ever happend the planet has no magnetic field that mean the solar wind will blow away it's atmospher and the solar radiation would be mortal.

[serpadesigns]

@xgentis I never said my model had an atmosphere, it's a simulation of what Mars would look like with water at a 9 kilometer depth. But thanks your your constructive criticism. When I get around to terraforming Mars myself I'll make sure to re-gyro Mar's core to produce a magnetic field so you may visit.

Reminds me of a random continent world from Civilization 4.

@TheClassicalSauce Cool, never played it.

good job... although i would guess there would be some green patches here and there. too bad this wont be in our lifetime :(

[serpadesigns]

@2012Video I made it to show the portion of water to land given 9km max depth, as if we had terraformed Mars, green would mean life, that's a whole other story

@LeoAutodidact

1 We aren't sure just how much water is on Mars already. If it has alot we wouldn't need any.

2 The kipper belt is closer and has alot of planetoids like pluto which is one of the lagerest and nearest.

The big island looks like an apple. Future home of Apple Inc?

@xgentis No, Mars has a magnetic field, granted it is a weak one. If we thinkened the atmosphere to the point were water could be had on Mars or humans live on it with out preshere suits it would take so long to strip away the atmosphere we could wright all of wrighten history over 20 time at least. Just 2,000 years ago we had the Romas think about in 100,000 years how much with have changed.
