    Re: The Phoenix Lander Made It To Mars Unharmed

    Plants don't need oxygen. They need carbon dioxide. And Mars has plenty of that locked up in its poles.

      Re: The Phoenix Lander Made It To Mars Unharmed

      plants convert carbon dioxide into oxygen, so carbon monoxide is needed for plants to grow as well as good soil water and several other important things. i think i heard somewhere that mars surface was very harsh so any plant growing would almost certainly have to be done inside a protective shell and controlled. it would take a huge scale terraform to make the planet hospitable. the distance is a bit far so if there is a problem you can almost be sure the people working on it would be toast.


      here is an article on terraforming, kinda interesting: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terraform

        I see. I'm sure the temperature of the planet wouldn't allow plant life though. The sun is a lot further away on Mars.

          I say just pollinate the entire planet with various plant seeds. Ala a mechanical Johnny Appleseed.

          Life is bound to find a way, dammit!

            Save it for the Science Fair

            Let's celebrate the Phoenix Lander.

            Needs a better name though.

              I say screw Mars, let's start building a Dyson sphere.



              I kid, I love Mars.

                  i agree that we need to go to mars. but i'm not sure we need to **** with mars. seems kinda egotistical to be like "nobody is using this planet......OURS!"

                    We need to make Mars OURS, I mean, how else are we going to find the Prothean technologies? Oh, and too bad we can't don what they do in Mass Effect, where they just send a ice-filled comet into the surface to add extra oxygen and water to the atmosphere.

                        canadas "gretzky" "space probe" is faulty on several levels, mostly due to it being just a very large wooden ladder.




                        and they only have enough wood to make it half way to mars! ha!

                          That's the real problem. Mars doesn't have a magnetic field like Earth, so most of its atmosphere got stripped away by solar radiation.
