In the year 1999 and seven months
A great King of Terror will come from the sky.
He will bring back the great King Genghis Khan.
Before and after Mars rules happily.

[http://www.geocities.com/marsterraformi … rming.html]How do you begin [http://www.users.globalnet.co.uk/~mfogg/book.htm]Terra-Forming another planet? There is an ancient, but educational game that hopes to answer this question though simulation called [http://www.mobygames.com/game/sheet/gameId,1835/]SimEarth.  I can tell you that the in the begining the secret is to crash a [http://neo.jpl.nasa.gov/cgi-bin/db?sstr=76P]Comet into the planets. Many things will happen including depositing water and gasses, liberating elements and compounds stored underground, and raising the temperature. So lets crash a comet into Mars.

Unforutunately there is no remote-control for comets.

The plan would be to slingshot nukes off another planet and intercept the comet before it approached Mars and divert it into a [http://archangel.20megsfree.com/neoJune2k.gif]collision path. The mission begins in [Aprox]December 1998 when the first [http://www.iki.rssi.ru/jplmirror/mars/m … unch2.html]interceptor is launched. It will carry at least two independent craft with warheads, and control systems linked through high speed communication. A secondary will be [http://www.iki.rssi.ru/jplmirror/mars/m … unch2.html]launched in January of 1999.

In September of 1999 the first interceptor will [http://www.cnn.com/TECH/space/9909/30/mars.metric/]slingshot around Mars and head towards the comet. The second will [http://www.space.com/scienceastronomy/s … 00106.html]follow in december dropping at least two small [http://www.spacekids.com/spacenews/deep … 91130.html]probes as it slingshots around. During the next few months they would adjust their heading, then deploy the independently controled warheads. Observed through a [http://hubblesite.org/]telescope and controled via [http://deepspace.jpl.nasa.gov/dsn/]radio the warheads will be detonated near the comet to change its path. The secondaries can do any final corrections after observations by the telescope.

To bad the impact will happen just after the [http://terpsichore.stsci.edu/~summers/viz/may_5_2000/]Grand Conjuction so Mars will be in the Halo of the sun so no one will [http://www.ntv.co.jp/channel/kasoh/kin10.html]see it  .
