It may be feasible to fabricate tiny reflective #nanorods from iron and aluminum found in the #Martian soil and launch them into the #atmosphere. “The interaction of those particles with the incoming sunlight ☀️ would then cause that solar energy to be preferentially forward scattered to the surface. That would then cause a very strong #greenhouse effect, and we can warm it up several tens of degrees.” 🌡️ https://www.ucf.edu/news/ucf-planetary-scientists-expertise-informs-new-method-for-terraforming-mars/

@daedalus what if money were simply a theoretical construct subject to redefinition? Hey @thewetmale this guy’s a fractional reserve knower #nanorods
