Trees on Mars

Mars has too much carbon dioxide and no oxygen, so why not just put trees on it to turn the carbon dioxide into oxygen?

It doesn't have a lot of co2. No water and cold trees will just die.

Because trees need oxygen in the first place for respiration

Plants can survive in the coldest areas of Earth, but no water would be a problem.

Very small amounts. Also as said its very cold and there isnt a lot of co2. While it has high percentage of co2 its atmosphere is very thin. That's why its so cold.

These, and also the pressure is extremely low. You would need highly adapted cyanobacteria or some shit and even then there wouldn't be enough water and if you did manage to convert most of the CO2 into O2 it wouldn't matter because of the lack of pressure. If you did manage to thicken the atmosphere it still wouldn't matter because Mars has no magnetosphere, so all of your air blows away in the solar wind.

mars needs more pressure

pressure is what actually matters for life

This is a myth. Trees barely produce any O2. Over 90% of all oxigen generated on Earth is created by plancton, it would take millennia to terraform Mars just using trees.
And obviously, there's no oceans in Mars or space to put all that plancton, as Mars is way smaller

Why? Who cares? I don't give a shit if some random dude decided to put his house in Detroit or in Mars, what I care about is the cure to old age before I die of old age

So far we've been getting about an extra 30 years per century to the life expectancy. I very much doubt we will bring that up to 100 years per century in your lifetime.

The solar wind FUD is absolutely out of control on this board. If you weren't a jew you would know that the timescale for solar wind to displace a theoretical martian atmosphere is on the order of tens-hundreds of millions of years. An atmosphere could be achieved from a combination of imported and indigenous materials in a trivial fraction of the time, and replenished as needed

Would you mind telling me how long multicellular organisms have existed on Earth for?

How fast do you think you can make an atmosphere from rocks?

Mars is uninhabitable. Just accept it. Even if you somehow cultivated plantlife on the surface you could never settle the planet because the low gravity and radiation would turn colonists into sickly cripples.
