Polluting Mars

This video presents the idea of moving to Mars because of the Sun. The Sun continues to grow and become hotter and hotter. Not only does the heat affect us and other organisms, but the suns powerful rays harm us as well. We cannot escape the fact that the Sun is becoming more dangerous to humans and Earth as a whole. Humans will no longer be protected from the sun by using sun screen. To avoid dying from the radiation and heat we must look for a new planet to live on. The ideal planet for this is Mars. The video explains how we can change the biosphere of Mars to become habitable. It suggests that we create machines that will pollute the atmosphere of Mars by adding greenhouse gases. These machines will be dropped onto Mars. Over time the plan is that the greenhouse gases will heat up the planet, enough to introduce algae. The algae would then soak up the polluted air and filter it back out with oxygen. Once the algae clean the air up a little bit we would start introducing more plant life to speed up the process. When enough oxygen is in the atmosphere humans will add small organisms until finally we are able to inhabit the planet.
