Yes, but could it bring Spock back to life?

non standard view is that the sun had a kill shot which took up Phaeton. The kill shot screwed up Mars orbit and everyone fled to earth.

Even simpler, just melt the core of Mars so that it becomes molten again!

Ok! I'm going to need a large drill rig, some really big jumper cables, a reliable welding machine, a generator, lots of fuel and a ride to Mars. LET'S DO THIS!

[LibWhacker]

Good point (and to tell you the truth, I had to Google it). This article explains it far better than I could, even after reading it!

What could p o s s i b l y go wrong?

Okay, cool. From now on, you are forbidden to use the word ‘we’ unless you are talking about all humans, every single last one of them.

Where would we get all the metal that would be needed

There is an endless supply of material just floating around in space. If I had a few quadrillion dollars and a thousand year life span, I'd show you.

There are a few issues here that shouldn’t just be ignored.

Pretending that all humans are on the same page is extreme arrogance—and all of us had enough of that from the media, .gov, Hollywood, etc.

NASA needs to be clear on who will fund their wet dreams, for starters.

we can terra-form Mars, but we can’t seem to incarcerate SorozNazi, Obammy, and HilLIARy

something doesn’t compute

Good article. Thanks for the link. I didn’t know there were four sources of heat. One is weird — the cooling core expands and releases heat.

Then set that puppy spinning and you are good to go.

They’re probably trying to water this down to 3rd grader level and end up with stuff like that. The core is still iron or iron rich but between the overall mass and the lower amount of radioactive heavy elements accumulated further out it probably solidified and coupled up with the overall planetary rotation.

We already know how to give Mars an atmosphere...

He’s just doing his job. No thread
is complete without mentioning Jesus
and whacking the NFL. Now we’re
half the way there.

"She was Miss Earth, 2049. I proposed to her in Mars' best restaurant, but she died before finishing her starter. The place had no atmosphere."

"No thread is complete without mentioning Jesus and whacking the NFL."

and, "HE HADN'T SAID ANYTHING AT ALL ABOUT MAMA, OR TRAINS, OR TRUCKS, OR PRISON, OR GETTIN' DRUNK..."
