Why are we not trying to terraform Mars right now? We should be carpet bombing the planet with microbes, fungi, or just anything in general which can survive and thrive on the surface of Mars and start producing greenhouse gases. Why do we just keep sending cameras and soil testing equipment? Just get on with starting the terraforming in whatever small ways we can.

Without a viable way to repair or create a new magnetic field around Mars, any terraforming progress would be rapidly undone by solar activity.
Your microbes or fungi would get baked off.

But there are microbes and fungi which can survive in the vacuum of space and exposure to hard radiation. Why not try to genetically engineer some that can produce the gases we need?

We can't even stop a little virus, how the fuck can we do anything like that?

Because we'd basically be using the unstoppable nature of viruses to work to our advantage.

We are more likely to blow up and wreck Mars, than terraform it.

Can we even long term survive under that lighter gravity?

Yes. Why would that be a problem? People who spend long periods of time in low gravity only have problems adjusting to regular gravity. If someone moved to Mars permanently they'd adjust to the lower gravity and it wouldn't be a problem, but they'd lose bone density and muscle mass so returning to Earth would be a problem.

Mars is a dusty shithole.
We should be trying to colonize the asteroids, as they at least have readily available sources of rare metals and have negligible escape velocities.
There is nothing on Mars worth the cost of reaching orbit for.

we can't make our planet nicer because the sois are mesmerized by the zog media fantasies of living on mars that have been intentionally implanted in their imagination. the sois will happily stay locked in their rooms living in squalor as long as some tv cartoon is telling them that they gonna be living in space in a few years. as long as they are given sufficient nutrition an escapist entertainment they will never want to participate in an real productive activities to better our condition here on earth, because that would involve performing labor. hot pockets and escapism is preferable to working.

Alright, now that we've established the root of the problem, can we do anything to solve or correct it?

hopefully zog will wipe the impediments out for us either with the vaccine or with economic hardship or by forcing niggers to chimp out on them, but that seems so unlikely because zog is who brainwashed and neutered them to begin with.

Science is not the limiting factor. Stupid people (majority) are.

Besides, we can send hundreds of plants to Mars and see which work, in a way we can't/don't want to test things on humans.

1. it's hard to do something when goverment gives you money for free
2. even if you would somehow penetrate the Dome it would turn out that mars is just a light construct like when you see it trough regular telescope

>>13178357
There are many, many good reasons.
- It would be unimaginably expensive and wouldn't bring any benefit for thousands of years, so no one has any interest to do it.
- It would completely and forever ruin the possibility of ever finding traces of extraterrastrial life on Mars by contaminating the environment.
- We lack the technology. No life as we know it is capable of growing on Mars as it currently is. Just because some bacteria can survive in the vacuum of space doesn't mean they're active and growing. Furthermore, even if such a life existed, it never would be enough to make Mars hospitable to mankind. For that, Mars would need an atmosphere, but if Mars had an atmosphere, it would be blown away by the solar winds due to Mars' lack of magnetic field, so terraforming Mars requires reigniting its magnetic field, and we can't do that.

Overall, what you are suggesting is completely irrealistic.

The temperature changes are really large so complex life will probably die off quickly. There is a lot of rediation so simple life will die off as well. A idea like bomming the poles to put the atmosphere full of particles and dust is more serious then your idea.
