yay its the dinosaur man! :)

Its far more likely we'll turn Earth into Mars rather than Mars into Earth

SPAAAAAAAAAACE

@Putz4Ever -

google "plate tectonics life" and read.

but other than the info presented there, plate tectonics are one symptom of a hot liquid core. the other is the **Strong Magnetic Field**. this is much more important. Mars has a thin atmosphere because it lacks the Van Alan Belt - cosmic rays erode the atmosphere and would cause cancers for any life. If you want to live on mars, you need to provide power for this service we take for granted on earth

[Putz4Ever]

@walter0bz Alright, but mind enlightening me on why we need plate tectonics?

[walter0bz]

@Putz4Ever -not the linear ranges typical of plates being suashed together at boundaries.

there USED to be plate tectonics, but no more.

google "mars tectonics", all the links appear to say 'no tectonics', with the explanation i gave as one telltale sign.

@walter0bz Which is what the scientists saw before they sent rovers to mars. How are they lacking mountain ranges? There are thousands of mountains taller then mount everest stretched along side mars. They even found layers of bedrock on the side of mountains meaning there used to be flowing water there.

[walter0bz]

@Putz4Ever mars lacks the linear mountain ranges /ridges that would show evidence of plate tectonics

@Putz4Ever

LMAO.

we're not going anywhere after peak oil.

and even if we could, mars's carrying capacity would be tiny compared to what we used to on earth under fossil fueled conditions

[Putz4Ever]

@walter0bz Are you kidding me? Mars has an atmosphere although very thin, it also has necessary chemicals like co2, h2o, argon, and much more, it's tectonic plates are STILL moving, and there are still monoxide fumes being released from its surface meaning their is either bacerial life esposing it, or there is volcanic activity under there. It is a living planet, scientists already have a way to strengthen the atmosphere through a release of co2, its far form science fiction...

[walter0bz]

@Putz4Ever

LMAO.

we're planning to build one on mars?

this is Science Fiction.

the industrial age is built on millions of years of energy stored in algae.

Mars has no resources worth the travel.. no energy stores. just rust.

it is 1/3rd the surface area of earth, and has no van-alan-belt - the planet lost its internal heat.

fossil fuels gave us an age equivalent to finding another 7 earths

[Putz4Ever]

@walter0bz Scientists are already prepared and know what to do when the sun dies 6 billion years from now, i sure any of these issues you seem to constantly bring up are reversible. We can repair our ozone layer, so much so that we are planning on building one on mars.
