We could build a big house there and then shine rainbow colored lights on it. Maybe we’d get some volunteers????

We don't even know what's there yet, but we know we want to change it.
But here on Earth, nothing to do with climate should ever change, and if it does, somebody has to pay!

This is not a novel or new idea. Maybe we should first ask the Martians if they want their planet terraformed.
To: LibWhacker
In the manga Terraformars, the insects/terraformers mutated and kill the humans. In the Val Kilmer movie Red Planet, same thing. Maybe this ain’t a good thing.

Nice.
We’ve f*cked up Earth, but, rather than fix it, we’re going to f*ck up Mars, as well.
No doubt before any settlement takes place, the homosexuals will insist on their right to marry there, and Blacks will insist that all Blacks who live there be given a generous stipend for ‘past racial injustices’ at White expense.
And, of course, the Mexicans will insist they be allowed to immigrate in unlimited numbers without papers.

Haven’t been to the moon in decades, currently don’t have a craft capable of doing THAT. Talking ‘bout terraforming Mars, lol.
Prediction, 100 years from now there still won’t be anyone living on Mars.

I thought that a genome is more like layers of an onion instead of just gluing a few genes together.

Arthur C. Clarke first published SF novel,
The Sands of Mars, was about precisely this concept. A type of specially-bred plant that could extract oxygen from the soil of Mars was imported to colonists who had set up a base on that planet. This plant needed lots of light to do its work; it got that light from another bit of mega-engineering, which was to set alight Mars's moon Phobos by means of a self-sustaining thermonuclear reaction that turned Phobos into a tiny, intense sun.
The Sands of Mars was published in 1951.
