Terraforming Mars

Here, here!

Your plan is even worse than "ay lameo terraform mars"

>t. jello baby

we already agree with the marsifiication of human race. we had this disscusion past week. Plans are already in motion.

Exercise and sleep in earth normal gravity should be sufficient. One can use a rotating cone to generate earth normal gravity.

Why do that when you can do it in space and not have to deal with all that shit? Spinning something in micro gravity is far more efficient than spinning something in gravity. Why leave Earth's gravity well only to jump into another one? That's not logical. If you need resources, use robots/drones AI or remote controlled.

True. But the shade would have to be at the L1 point (actually, a trifle closer to the Sun to counteract light pressure). It would need active control since the point is unstable and would have to be very very very large.
Still, I supposed that's a minor issue compared with dealing with the atmosphere and rotation rate.

Frankly, I don't know which world sounds more depressing. I miss the SF of the '40s and '50s.

>I miss the SF of the '40s and '50s.

I really like E. E. Smith's stuff.

I believe that all people were created by God but some of them have taken Satan's culture instead. It's not the bad blood that has to go, it's the bad culture.

>How would you go on about it?
Don't. Excavate subterranean caverns and build huge pressurized domes in them, connected by tunnels. Mars is geologically stable and the low gravity means you can increase the scale of your construction. It's also close to the asteroid belt, so it would benefit from an established industry there.
