@1MuchButteR1 Actually, even if Mars was not given an artificial magnetosphere, it would still take millions of years for it to be eroded. An artificial magnetosphere will be needed to protect its atmosphere and hold it for billions of years. To protect Mars from the high charged partials thrown out by the sun during Solar Flares or CMEs.

@NewVahan2011 Well now this isn't for anyone alive today, I think. As we've fucked up this world. We might now be giving the next generation and the generation after that a chance.

Let's go trash someone else's planet and call it home??? You better hope like hell that if this goes through, there is no life on mars! How would you like beings from another planet coming to earth and screwing with our climate so that it will be inhabitable for them??? Smh.

@thesomebody3 it is a really long progress, but with some heatsource and water, the problem with unfriendly enviroment on mars would solve itself, during a couple of 100 years, ok maybe like 1000 years and that doesn't make sense, hmm...

@hayden50 dude, putting CO2 on the planet will never work, ur a retard not me, and just by the way im talking about this documentary, just cuz u got a bonut at the idea that we r gonna live on mars doesn't mean that who disagrees is an idiot, and by the way I think I have more general knowledge then you

[hayden50]

@thesomebody3 i don't have time to explain things to retards ,so watch the whole documentary ...also, there are plenty of other documentaries on youtube explaining the feasibility of terraforming mars...get educated.....

[thesomebody3]

@hayden50 dont know who you are, what u r, or where u from, but ur dumb as shit.., how could this possibly work? do u have any logic in that empty head of urs?

@IvanS321123 yes because the first step is not breathable air. Its twofold: temperature, and pressure. Increasing the pressure from about 6 millibar to around 500 millibar by increasing the temperature. When the temperature increases, the ice caps (dry ice and water ice) and gasses frozen in the regolith will outgas and increase the planets pressure over centuries. If the temperature increases enough, all they will need is just an oxygen mask with no pressure suit to go outside.

@thesomebody3 you think you know better than these scientists??? don't make me laugh

[thesomebody3]

@hayden50 ur dumb, none of them 3 phases would work in any combination...

[thesomebody3]

@IvanS321123 I agree
