Well terraforming Mars is the stuff of science fiction. Very romantic. However, the problem seems virtually insoluable.

Still, Mars has water and probably caves. We could all live in caves if we moved to Mars, sneaking out in our radiation suits to till the radiation-hardened crops that are serviced by specially adapted radiation-hardened bees who have grown monster wings to be able to fly in the low density atmosphere.

I think the probably is so far away from insoluble that u require a complete lack of imagination or history to not be all but thoroughly optimistic.

Yavoon, you are an incurable romantic!

I think that by the time we can easily, quickly and cheaply terraform Mars we will regard living on immobile planets and dangerous and quaint.
