How could the Martian environment be reverse engineered? Wouldn’t it be cool to have a habitable planet close by?
“Wouldn’t it be cool to have a habitable planet close by?”
Yeah. Dreamy.
Until the first f’n Democrat shows up and S@#$ts in the pool.
But, MAYBE we could send ALL the Democrats there, instead.
Concoct some Earth crisis story requiring evacuation, and — of course — all the Democrats get to go on the first ship out since they’re OBVIOUSLY the Most Important People. And we’ll paint the entire ship to look like a gigantic pride flag, just to make them even more excited to be going on this historic journey. Then we send all the Democrats off to Mars to ensure they’re safely out of harm’s way; saved from the coming calamity here on Earth.
Oh, and did I neglect to mention it’s a one-way trip?
Silly me.
Anyway, they all live self-loathingly on Mars ever after.
And the Earth calamity? We “discover” a flaw in our model that, once corrected, shows it was all a false alarm. Ha-ha! Imagine that!
With all the Democrats gone off to Mars, San Francisco might become habitable, again. Or even Chicago. Lots of potential benefits to this scenario...
Transfer the excess atmosphere from Venus to Mars, bring water from the outer solar system, put genetically engineered bacteria in place to break down the poisons in the soil and mars can be terraformed.
For awhile anyway.🤔
