If there were some way to get the water into the atmosphere to trap more heat, with all that CO2, we could plant some kind of green vegetation and viola - oxygen and atmosphere!

Terraforming is possible, scientifically. It’s the logistics and brute force needed that makes it hard - we need so much more atmosphere than what’s there.

We know there’s water but not how much. We also need more CO2 to make enough oxygen.

I do think someday, maybe 300 years from now, it will be done.
