Terraforming this is the question.

There is supposed to be a debate on terraforming, all I hear is
silence.
Is it possible technically and morally to carry out a transformation of
a
planet moon etc.


Double-A:

Don't ask NASA. They can't even get their shuttle off the ground!


rebel:

Sagan put forward an idea on how it may be possible to terraform Venus,
then
he altered his opinion because of the amount of greenhouse gasses
present,
then he turned to Mars as an alternative and seemed to find no apparent

obstacle to the terraforming of Mars.

How are you going to terraform Mars? It's atmosphere is already over
95% greenhouse gases, and it's cold!


rebel:

But is there a valid reasoning? behind the folks that disagree with
any
alteration to other bodies, on the principle of religion, possible
micro
type life existing, are these justified, and should they be ignored,
there
will always be the out and out nutter.
Venus or the Moon is the closest so should in that respect prove easier
if
the obstacles can be removed overcome, technically I feel man can do
it, we
are natural explorers colonisers, what's a few bugs if they exist when
it
stops progress, and most life learns to adapt.
Seeds can take a great deal of time to grow the seeds of conditioning
should be tried out and deposited on every flight onto another planet
or
moon.
