Countries on the edge of the Sahara desert are reversing desertification by just digging half circles.

The ground in these places is too compact for water to soak in during wet season which leads to flooding but digging these holes gives the water a place to stop and soak in. And they’re pushing back the desert with this. By just digging holes.

@appassionato Musk dreams of terraforming Mars. Real heros are the one who can terraform Sahara.
If We Nuke Mars, Would It Really Become an Earth-Like Planet?

Is Elon Musk's suggestion to nuke Mars a feasible plan? Some scientists are skeptical, while others have their own ideas for terraforming Mars.

@appassionato @FrancoisPrague Let's not try! Let's not put any nukes on any spacecraft: spacecrafts are quite prone to failure, so, you know.... bad!

Or bombers.

Or submarines.

They're bad for your health, you know...
