Scientists propose warming Mars with **engineered aerosols**, potentially making it habitable in just **15 years**. 🌌
Models show surface temperatures could rise by **35°C**, allowing **liquid water** to exist. 💧
Challenges remain, including dust storms and aerosol behaviour. #Mars #Space #Terraforming #Astronomy #Science

The model uses aerosols with aluminum to try to heat Mars' atmosphere.
Wouldn't the aerosol compounds eventually find their way to the surface? Not sure I want to breathe in aluminum.
Back on Earth, aluminum in the atmosphere isn't such a great idea.

Terraforming Mars: Modeling engineered aerosols to warm the planet

Whenever humans arrive on Mars, they're going to find it a difficult place to exist. Mars is cold, with an average surface temperature of -55°C; temperatures can plunge to -125°C with dust storms lasting months; its atmosphere is very thin and almost all carbon dioxide; and all the water is frozen and mixed with ice made of CO2. Oh, and solar radiation will be hazardous on Mars' surface since the planet has no ozone layer to block ultraviolet radiation, especially so during solar flares. Disneyland it is not.

Trump says war with Iran will end when ‘I feel it in my bones’

https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/5783165-trump-says-war-with-iran-will-end-when-i-feel-it-in-my-bones/

> Don Trump on Friday said he knows the U.S. military operation in Iran will come to an end when he can “feel it in my bones,” a remark that comes almost two weeks after U.S. began doing the bidding of the State of Israel, when bombing of the huge, oil-rich, West Asian regional power commenced (and of tiny Lebanon shortly afterwards)... Trump spoke with Fox News host Brian Kilmeade on his podcast “The Brian Kilmeade Show” and told him, “When it’s over — and I don’t think it’s going to be long — when it’s over, this is going to bounce back so fast.”

Don't send Elon to Mars, send something useful, like Tardigrades.

#Extremophiles that can digest #radiation ☢️ and toxicities are already used to clean up everything from oil spills to the fallout of radioactive sites.

This means we could #engineer microbes that are resistant to freezing ❄️ temperatures and high levels of radiation.

Given that #microbes 🦠 helped make Earth habitable, we could use synthetic #biology to engineer microbes to speed up a similar process for #Mars 🔴 https://theconversation.com/how-to-engineer-microbes-to-enable-us-to-live-on-mars-253456

How to engineer microbes to enable us to live on Mars

Microbes could pump out oxygen on Mars.

We can consider three possible responses to the discovery of indigenous life on #Mars 🔴

• Leave it alone
• Alter Mars to enhance the chances of that biota to become a global scale biology
• Collect samples for laboratory preservation, then replace or augment it with #terrestrial life forms

It is very unlikely that we would drive to extinction any native #Martian #microorganisms 🦠 by extending the habitability of Mars
