some would say, yes, it would be a good idea.
Mars is an planet close to our sun, and our orbit, which contained water once at a time, and still does in its icecap, where it's in a permanently frozen state if it's kept there. It has a dense atmosphere, generally made of iron chemicals and dust which gives it Mars its red, desert abandoned looked. A dense atmosphere; it would be a perfect target for terraforming .
Suggestions for terraforming; perhaps constructing bio-domes which may produce oxygen in a mass quantity, and other chemicals which help build up over time, it will normalize it; causing it to become colder, as the process is; but it will be breathable, and safe ... to our knowledge. There must be oxygen present though.
Others would note that the Martian gravity is much less than that of Earth and any breathable atmosphere created would have a relatively short lifetime.
Also, the eccentricity of the Mars' orbit gives temperatures ranging from 20 C to well below 0 C. The average temperature is -60 C, and if sufficiently heated to 0 C, the hottest temperature will be 80 C.

∙ 9y agoWhether or not Mars could be terraformed is a subject that has been discussed for decades. The consensus is, though it may be possible, the initial stage alone could take centuries to complete.

∙ 8y agoNo, it is far beyond our abilities and will remain so for many, many years

What is the act of making land suitable for human use?
terraforming
Could humans live on Mars if Mars was modified?
Yes, although modifying or "terraforming" it would take about a thousand years with current technology.
What is Neptune's terraforming?
Terraforming a planet is the process of modifying it to make it like Terra (Earth) although it is normally used to simply refer to making the atmosphere breathable by higher animals and plants. With this definition, Terraforming Neptune would be giving it an atmosphere that humans can breathe. That being said, it's impossible to terraform Neptune, because it is a naturally stormy gas giant with winds raging up to 2,000mph, very little sunlight for food or energy, is too far from the sun to hold liquid water and has an exposed molten core that you'd fall into and be vaporised by if you try to stand on the planet.
Does mars have oceans like earth?
No. There is no liquid water on the surface of Mars. The planet is essentially on gigantic desert.
Humans could most likely settle on what planet?
Humans do not have the tecnology to move and survive on any planet at this time. However in the coming future we may be able to go to Mars. sorry no we cannot go to mars it is close to the sun we might live or god will give us a planet where we could live like earth.
Is it possible to change the temperature of Mars?
Yes it is certainly scientifically possible. See links on terraforming and in particular Mars.
What is terraforming in space?
Terraforming is transforming a planet into one that is similar to Earth (so that an ecosystem in which humans can survive will sustain itself).
What can to you to Mars to make it habitable?
Terraforming it
What are the release dates for Omni The New Frontier - 1981 Terraforming?
Omni The New Frontier - 1981 Terraforming was released on: USA: 1981
Is terraforming likely to occur at some point in the future?
Yes
Can you start terraforming mars today?
|Yes you can! On your bike son!
What is the act of making land suitable for human use?
terraforming
Will the terraforming of mars help if the sun blew up?
If the sun exploded (went into supernova), then I highly doubt that terraforming of ANY world in our Solar system would be enough to save us from the catastrophic explosion of the Sun.
What is stopping us from launching algae and anaerobic bacteria to Mars in order to begin terraforming for possible future habitation?
First of all we cannot know what are the implications of doing such a thing. It is also very expensive and technically difficult to do it.
What technologies would need to be used to accomplish terraforming?
actually a simple rock could do terraforming (reshaping the terrain of the earth). The glacier age was extremely efficient, and so are volcanoes. You could get complicated and use sophisticated machinery like bulldoziers... Hope that helps.
What are some of the major obstacles to the terraforming of Mars?
Lack of everything- water, air, and sunlight (among others)
Is it possible that you can live on a planet not in your solar system?
Of course. You just need to find a planet with atmosphere breathable for humans, tolerable gravity, with temperatures humans can survive, and without too much solar radiation. It also needs to have plant and animal life humans can eat, or needs to be able to support plants and animals from Earth. This is when you don't consider terraforming, of course. With terraforming, the major concerns are planetary gravity, distance from the star, the state of the star, and general chemical composition of the planet.
