Mars could use some life.”[/quote]

I just read about this the other day. Apparently the strategy is all there, it would just be wicked expensive and take about a thousand years. Not to mention the ethical debate that would ensue. I can’t find the article online, unfortunately, but it’s on pages 30 to 33 of the February 2010 issue of National Geographic. The general idea is to break down the ice and some of the rocks of Mars into nice atmospheric gases like water and carbon dioxide, then introduce lichens, mosses, et cetera over the next few centuries.

Don’t put down the human’s only power for sanity, it may make them angry;)
Watch what you say God may stomp on you

I was not aware of this place, it is damn interesting and best left alone so we can learn from it.

Look up a photo log showing the current state of the lands surounding Chernobyl. There is one exceptional set by a young girl on a motorbike that I cannot remember the name of… It shows two great things: 1) a snapshot of Soviet Russia from a few days before a celebration, 2)how nature will take over if we just suddenly disappeared.
