If we could, should we create an atmosphere on Mars...   ...so that we could inhabit that planet?

I've heard of theories that say it's possible to do that. And since Mars appears to be a dead planet at this time why would it be wrong?
 
If we could create an atmoshere around Uranus, should we?

25. I don't see how it's possible to **** up a dead world
 It already is bone-dry desert, freezing cold, and pummeled by hard radiation every day.

We could drop every ounce of hot nuclear waste we have on a big pile there and probably improve the situation by creating a warm spot for bacteria to huddle around.Even a half-assed attempt at adding atmosphere would still make it suitable for bacterial and invertebrate life, which is better than nothing.
What would you feed them? Triage milk? :lmao:

34. Does it matter what year it was produced?
 Somebody made that face.And unless you are crazy enough to think that mankind somehow snuck up there, the only explanation is an intelligent civilization on Mars.
Ever read War Of The Worlds?
Where were the aliens from again? Oh, right...
Zappa hasn't bothered to check photos from MRO, has he?

Rumor has it that there is an intelligent civilization in California too, but I'm not buying it.

Milady, you and your husband leaving California and heading to the great state of Texas was the first thing I thought of, when the intelligent civilization being in California was first postulated . . .  :blowkiss:

Wrong, DUmbass.
It just expands and expels material, creating a red giant, and a planetary nebula.

37. Yes we should inhabit as many planets as we can
 The more planets humans have colonized, the more our species survivability increases. If earth were hit by a giant comet right now, all of humanity would be extinguished because right now we have all our eggs in one basket. I also support creating giant space traveling biospheres that can position themselves around the sun and adjust their position when necessary to avoid meteors and collect solar energy.
:mental:
But..but...but, do you support creating an atmosphere around Uranus?

Zappaman is one of the chief tormentors of the Troofers in their 9/11 forum. When he makes a crazy conspiracy statement like that it's usually tongue-in-cheek. In that post he was mocking some other DUmbass who proclaimed we were being quarantined by aliens.

He and SDuderstadt had a pretty good tag team going over there until SD got the granite cookie.

I was trying to find the thread for you, sir--it's here somewhere--but I can't remember anything of its title.

Anyway, that was a few months ago; it was pretty low-key, and so probably many missed it.
