Re: Teraforming Mars

That is quite an expectation. Considering it will have taken us fifty years to move from our first suite of landings on the moon, to our second.
Not to mention the current absence of any effective nanotechnology devices.

How do you envisage these nanobots will create the atmosphere? What composition do you envisage for the atmosphere? How do you plan to source the organic material for the soils?

I am not disputing that one day we will have the capacity to Terraform Mars. Conventional wisdom says this would take several hundred, possibly even a few thousand, years. At heart, the root of all my questions is, what makes you believe it is possible in a fraction of that time, and in the immediate future.

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.

We have been online since May 2000, and aim to be the best place to find and share science-related content of all kinds.

Share the love!
