Terraforming Mars

  1. This video gives an extraordinary look at what Mars could look like if it was to be terraformed. It gives a slow but insightful simulation of what would it look like over time growing into a second Earth. The simulation shows water growth as well as a green life forms. It's a short simulation but it gives a good optimistic view of having a second planet where life could be seen in the near distinct future.

    A very broad but meaningful explanation is given on what needs to happen in order to see Mars as a future home for humans. It explains in the beginning that Venus is too hot and we much technology in order to have it transformed. But Mars stands a chance with our technology and we can do this but it's going to take time. Time as in much collaboration from different generations.

    The video focuses on carbon dioxide as being an importance to making Mars livable. It gives a small understanding of polar ice caps and their connection with carbon dioxide. Well into the video, it begins to simulate the growth of algae and other micro organisms which could help develop Mars into a second green planet. The video is very broad but the video given gives us a good prospective into what could happen for a second home.
