Re: NASA plan to heat up Mars? - Guardian article
Hmmm... Slashdotters point to original article from NASA that has the date feb 2001 on it 
But someone pointed out this nice article from http://www.newscientist.com/article.ns?id=dn6973]New Scientist that says there's proof of the right elements to make greenhouse gasses from the soil of Mars...

Re: NASA plan to heat up Mars? - Guardian article
Understanding of how to warm Mars up and how sensitive it is to induced changes can be studied here on Earth before attempting to change Mars.
Climate: The Sensitivity Question
The measurement, called climate sensitivity, indicates how surface temperatures respond depending on how much greenhouse gas is pumped into the atmosphere by humans. The usual measurement baseline is a doubling of CO2.

Re: NASA plan to heat up Mars? - Guardian article
Maybe NASA should concentrate on heating its own space agenda up first, then maybe the planets.
Getting off the ground first, seems a good first step in any planet heating ideas.
The universe isn't being pushed apart faster.
It is being pulled faster towards the clumpy edge.

Agreed. Although, I'm sure they would like to get there as much as we would. I highly doubt it is their fault that not much interest or funding is being generated for them.
