What Should We Do To Make Life Possible On Mars ?

Answer 1

First warm it up, by doing what we are doing to our Earth, by polluting Mars with alot of greenhouse gasses, and sine the planet is smaller you have to continue doing this because the gravity cannot hold the slightly thicker atmosphere. next put simple one celled organisms that can produce oxygen and plant simple moss. This will take thousands of years to make sure it will stick, even though the icewould have melted because of the green house gasses pumped into the atmosphere.
This is only theory, but we have some of the technology to terraform Mars to be atleast habitable.

Answer 2

Velika's points are e3xcellent but 2 other important factors have not been mentioned:

Mars no longer has a magnetic field to protect the surface from solar radiation. Get caught outside during a solar flare and you're a microwave diner. Protective shielding totaly enclosing the colony would be required, or some way to generate a magnetic field on a planetary scale would have to be devised.

Also, mars has only 2 moons of negligable size so it tilts wildly as it rotates. This would result in extreme temp changes even if we raised the overall temp. We could BUILD a moon by bringing asteroids into the correct orbit to acrete over centuries into a stabilizing moon.

It would be a long process in any case. Venus might be easier to teraform for all its trouble if a way to "bleed-off" 99% of the atmosphere was found.

Answer 3

Well, the first thing to consider is, do we want to terraform Mars? Many scientists think it would be a better idea to wait and make sure we've learned as much from the existing environment as we reasonably can before we start changing it.

However, if we did want to change it, the best way to start would be by ireleasing greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. Putting big mirrors in space to reflect more light down is also an idea.

Answer 4

First plants are to be planted in mars to convert carbon dioxide into oxygen. Canals should be dug then water has to be transported from earth to mars. Then concave lens mirrors are to be placed in space to reflect more sun light to mars and make it warm. Finally after everything is done people can think of going and settling there but the whole process is too expensive.

Answer 5

To make life possible on Mars, the polar ice caps should be used efficiently, and the atmosphere should also be made such that the concentration of Oxygen increases while that of carbon dioxide decreases.
I hope that you'll rate it as the best answer!

Answer 6

I have a feeling mars is doing alright without the assistance of the all mighty human. There could be life on there right now that we don't know about, I'm sure humans are not needed.

Answer 7

First of all we have to build a base on Moon and only then we can think about Mars. Because it is very easy to learn the technology from Moon needed to build a base on another planet.

Answer 8

OMG!
We should send half of the people in the U.S
Over there, and that will decrease global warming on earth

But, yeh. some day there will be life on Mars

Answer 9

Increase the temperature about 100 degrees.
Make sure there's a cable hookup.

Answer 10

I think WATER should be there for the life of any organism
