Why is it not possible to prepare magnesium by heating magnesium oxide in?

In what? Air? Oxygen? If so, you can't prepare any metal by doing that. Unless a metal occurs in its native form (as the metal), it will always have to be extracted from the ore by a reduction (NOT oxidation) process - that is so for all metals. For any reduction process to work on any metal compound, a reducing agent more elecropositive than the metal being extracted must be used.
