Query about Mars
"Andrew McKay" wrote in message ...
I was musing about the following situation, maybe someone can offer some thoughts? WRT to Mars my current understanding is that the climate is harshly carbon dioxide (is it?). If it is then we know that trees and plants can change carbon dioxide into more friendly climatic gasses for human habitation. So if there were water deposits found on Mars, how viable would it be to engineer some serious vegetation on the planet so that the atmosphere starts to develop more human friendliness? . . . Let's say... some forms of life, we'll call them "luman beings," are searching this section of the galaxy for a new place to live. The lumans come across our Sun and find that the third planet from the star has the best overall rating to support their species. But they just have to make a few... uhm... adjustments to make the planet perfectly suitable for lumans. It's unfortunate that these "adjustments" will eradicate all forms of life presently residing there. But who cares? The lumans are only interested in making a place for themselves. Other life forms are insignificant and can be anhilated. For lumans, it's okay to develop other planets toward more "luman friendliness." Are we human? or luman? Andrew Problems scheduling resources?
