- A colleague of mine, who claims to be knowledgeable in such matters
- tells me:
-
- A fairly large team <at NASA>, is planning the terraforming
- of Mars, which involves destroying the planet as we know it.
- Mars will be raised 20 degrees C. And with minimal study of
- that planet it becomes clear what chain of events will occur.
- After this chain Mars will be 'polluted' with earth-based
- micro-organisms and rugged plant life.
-
- Can anyone confirm, deny, or refute the above, or otherwise
- elaborate on NASA's plans with respect to Mars?
