Homo Marcianus. That would be the name of the ancestors of the first humans to settle on Mars.

I believe the theory involves creating a greenhouse effect. Mars has a lot of carbon dioxide, in the soil and in frozen form. Heat will release it into the atmosphere, warming up Mars, melting the polar ice caps, and making the planet habitable for stuff like plankton to convert carbon dioxide into oxygen. Smashing an asteroid into the ice and transporting CFC's are also potential ideas.

Keeping the atmosphere is another problem though (no magnetosphere).

First colonize the solar system then other stars. The only problem is the interstellar distances and we have to find something to tackle that. Imagine an empire consisting of earth, the moon, Mars, Moons and the moons of the gas giants...

@harolze Mark my words that this will be set in motion in the next 300-400 years.

@THEmegaROCKER123 And I thought that people who wwish death and take liberty to judge are no better than the ignorant preachers.

@quingermanfrog And you are assuming that the temperature and gas content are the only things that are required for adaptation?

@animalliberation0961 Cannibalism is but a matter of practical food supply in the animal kingdom, most notable being among the chimpanzees, and hardly is present in the human society unless you count in the murderers, sociopaths and people with a uncommon perspective of reality like in the tribes in africa.

\that put aside, eating different types of mammals is but beneficial for the body and for survival and is not cannibalism.
