TERRAFORMING MARS






Mars is very cold in most areas because it’s atmosphere is about 100 times thinner than earth’s. In mars; early history, it was much like earth and it had a thicker atmosphere; however it was lost hundreds millions of years ago. This was caused when Mars losted its Magnetosphere due to asteroid collisions, 4 billion years ago. Without any magnetosphere for protection, solarwinds lowered the atmospheres density (making it thinner) by stripping away atoms from mars’ ionosphere (upper atmosphere ionized via solar radiation). Terraforming Mars would include creating mars’ magnetosphere because they are essential for increasing mars’ temperature to earth’s, for thickening mar’ atmosphere and for harmful solar radiation protection. Thus we  are giving mars a new moon ½  mars’ mass which would help increase temperature in its core and move the molten iron. It may also be important importing thousands of small asteroids and launching them into the core at intense speeds.  This would liquify its iron core, kick starting it’s magnetic field. Ultimately this would give mars’ magnetosphere back.
In addition, to increase temperatures and melt ice glaciers to extract water and to heat up the planet, we are installing thousands of movable concave mirrors (mirrors change their angles to beam the light to mars). This would beam light from the sun and concentrate it on mars’ surface or a glacier. This would also generate excess electricity via thermal power plant.
