New Mars Forums

I expected a few more episodes .

With the my recent discovery of the X Prize, I fthought hey why not try just for the fun of it.

It ascends using the old fashion Hydrogen-Oxygen combustion and descends using the same and uses a parachute to land.

Oopsie wrong forum XD.
However this design could be an alternative to the space elevator no?

Mars is dry, but it certainly does not lack water :b.
Alotta planets and moons have water in ice form,
Mercury, Mars, the Asteroids contain some ice, comets, Ganymede, Callisto, Europa, Titan(?), and Oort cloud objects might contain ice.

Perhaps we are looking for the wrong type of life(both here and other planets)   ???
There could be carbon based lifeforms that breath helium and give off methane as exhaust(possible Titan lifeforms?) or Oxygen based lifeforms that give off Ozone exhaust(both Europa has plenty of).

I'm Ann and Sax's 'Blue'.
Mars will always be the red planet in our hearts and it will remain geologically unchanged for the most part, but we should still try to preserve some of the planet.

Lets say in a hypothetical situation that a 1 kilometer asteriod struck the Martian south pole and tossed chunks of CO2 ice into the atmosphere and melted it. Wouldn't the asteroid release CO2 and H2O providing Water Vapor and heat? Melting the North Pole and forming the legendary 'Oceanis Borealis'? Couldn't we also stear the asteriod into Mars ourself?

Blimps > Ground Transport.
Since tracks are slow and if you're going somewhere on Mars you'd better be there quick, I say some Magnesium variant of tires.

Eh.. I have a question about all this which I'm surpisded no one has asked,
What is the rate of CO2 consumption by 'Oceanis Borealis' ?

Erm hate to dis ya like this,
but YA you do recieve lots of radiation on the Martian surface,
BUT its not that significant, its like receiving half of what the Astronauts/Cosmonauts on the ISS recieve.

Perhaps buisness with soon be able to send
people to the Moon, Mars, and many other places
to go.
Seriously, the government has no law in space, its invalid
if they do, because space is not theirs to use or control.

I see Venus as the beginning start for terraformation of ANY Helelio-Orbit object.
I'm sure we could use the 89 extra bars for Terraformation of all the planets/moons besides Mercury.

Martian terraformation isn't that hard in my eyes... of course I ignore math and use pure imagination within realistic accompishments.
Step One:
Release 20 mb of PFC gasses(Freon being the majority).
Step Two:
Nuke the south pole if its not already melted.
Step Three:
Repeat step 2 for the North pole.
Step Four:
Aerobrake asteroids into the atmosphere.
Step Five:
Huzzah, realease PFC amune Lichen into the wet soil.
~ about 60 years in all.
