[QUOTE]Originally posted by Stingray: [QB] Take that equation and plug in Mars-current values. Alter things like pressure and greenhouse affect (artifically produce hydrocarbons), thicken the atmosphere (aforementioned hydrocarbons, iceteroids, a slew of other methods), increase albedo (solettas), and you have a temperature habitable to humans. Mars will never be a warm planet by Earth tropical standards, but it will be habitable and bearable. [i]"I didn't pull those figures out of thin air"[/i] Nice pun :) [i]"Yeah, i wouldnt feel bad about raping Mars. But it would suck to have all that beautiful red scenery interrupted by ugly white clouds and green plants and blue water."[/i] Was that sarcasm? [i]why do we need to terraform Mars? Or, to put it another way, why is a terraformed Mars more valuable than an...aresformed Mars? Because of the existence of life? Piffle, I say. Life is nothing. Just a temporary negentropic effect that's completely canceled out by the larger entropy all around it.[/i] Well, if you were a primate, you would be concerned with self preservation. But hey, its not for everybody. [/QB][/QUOTE]
