[FPSPACE] Discovery reveals Mars is not a dead planet

[Jens Kieffer-Olsen]

I'm not so sure about that. Self-replicating robots could presumably do the
job.
 
And people into nano-technology may have ideas that lead them towards
the goal of altering the atmosphere into something less toxic than pure CO2.
 
The Earth is perfectly habitable to-day. Why do you think it is attractive
for politicians and moneymen to empty your pocket to keep it that way?

Hi Jens - 

The only way of excavating a hole that large, or freeing the volatiles from
Mars crust, would be by diverting an impactor into it. Thus tera-forming
Mars requires the same technologies we need now to keep the Earth habitable.

So we return to where we started, with CAPS, mankind's next goal in space.

Surely you understand this by now, you're already in space, a passenger
aboard spaceship Earth.
