could we launch 0zone to mars to terraform it?

Question

for starters, could we send O3 to the outer edge of mars, not the stratosphere, i forgot the other outer spheres (ionsphere?) to mars? would that at least contain the uv radiation and begin some constructive way to get mars functioning? what steps would one have to take to terraform mars? i doubt the rocks are oxides, so i don't know.

Answer 1

Open your mind.......... Open your mind..

Start the reactor.

Answer 2

going on that mars has no atmosphere hence no spheres of its own, no it would not do any good.
You also need to sustain the amount of ozone.
Ozone is produced from oxygen by cosmic irradiation. Thus in order to sustain it you need a good measure of oxygen (more than Earth as there is less of a cosmic radiation flux there)
Oxygen is produced by plant life so you'll need plants and water and nutrients and a whole ecosystem to sustain it.
Mars is too cold for water to liquify, blocking out uv'll only make it colder too. There's not enough geological activity to keep the surface warm like there is on Earth either.
The only solution I can see is if you can tow it into a closer orbit. Then ship over fuel (no fuel on mars as there is no plant life to generate it... maybe uranium but not much) dirt water plants people and a glass bubble to put it all in.
Chances are you'd probably wipe out all life on Earth doing so. Pretty much a no win situation no matter how you look at it.

Answer 3

Ozone won't help terraforming, but pumping Mars full of carbon dioxide would. Introducing a lot of CO2 would create a greenhouse effect on the planet and warm it up. If there is water on Mars, you could then start introducing plants. After enough plants were established, they would begin producing oxygen, possibly making it habitable for humans.

However, this process would require hundreds (if not thousands of years) and lots and lots of money, so it is probably not going to happen within our lifetimes.

Answer 4

Mars has a very think atmosphere because it doesn't have enough gravity to hold an atmosphere. If you want to build a huge colony there, I'd recommend greenhouses. Venus on the other hand, is earth's twin. If you could find a way to cool it down (put in in some sort of shade) you might have something going.

Answer 5

that might work, but I would highly doubt it. Mars' gravitational pull is far less than Earth's, so any gasses wouldn't get out to the necessary altitude to not be lethal to us or other plants. there could, however be some sort of plant life that could be supported with an atomosphere contained closer to the planet. but, if the planet could support such an atmosphere, there is a high probability that it already would have.

Answer 6

it is not a threat to terraform Mars on a similar time as earth could be made lots greater livable. If it weren´t for thouse awful human beings mucking each and every thing up... Mars is basically too tiny to hold onto an ecosystem. It doesn´t have adequate gravity so basically approximately all its primordial environment has drifted off into area and there isn´t something we are in a place to do to end it despite if we ought to recreate an ecosystem. If could basically circulate off into area as quickly as greater. The CO2 in Mars environment is extremely doing alot to warmth Mars up yet via fact the ambience is so skinny, "alot" basically ability extremely extremely chilly via earth extensive-unfold. there is approximately as lots CO2 in earths environment as that's in Mars. Venus environment is nearly ten thousand circumstances as thick as Mars! And it´s almost all CO2 to boot. additionally Venus is a lot lots nearer to the sunlight and gets 4.4 circumstances as lots sunlight. So the two worlds are... worlds aside. :)

Answer 7

Without a liquid magma core there is no magnetosphere so even with an atmosphere and all the terraforming we would still die of radiation poisioning if we stayed there.
