Titas, mere assertion is not an argument. Just dogmatically coming in and calling people names is not only rude, but poor argument form. Try backing up your argument with some data we can debate. The data above seems pretty devastating to your dogmatism that it is the ONLY way to do it?
Also keep in mind that it only takes a few advances from where we are now to begin
some sort of terraforming on Mars, and you and I don't know the future or which tiny inch forward in one new technology will open up all sorts of other technological possibilities in other industrial applications. Nano-tech and materials science seems the great unknown, as does biomodification. One super-bug could probably do about 50% of the terraforming? It's just hard to know.
