Say, will melting the mars ice caps be a bad idea? Is the soil there even usuable?

Weakening gravity?
The problems I see are the fact that there is no electromagnetic field to speak of on Mars to protect from solar radiation. You need enough mass to build an atmosphere that is sustainable. And you need to deal with the fact that it is so freaking desolate, and not getting any better. Unless there are large underground deposits of water, oxygen and nitrogen that can be used to create a working sustainable habitable atmosphere the whole deal is probably hopeless.
Blue sky on mars? First you need a total recall of its past resources that have likely evaporated into space.
