  1. Re:Terraforming... on Scientist Calls Mars a Terraforming Target · · Score: 0

    To expound on point 1: The atmospheric pressure on Mars is about 1% of that on earth. In comparison, the pressure at the top of Mt Everest is about 1/3 of that at sea level, and people regularly die due to lack of oxygen (High Altitude Cerebral Edema). Even if you can increase the amount of oxygen in the air you still won't be able to inhale enough of it to stay alive.

    The average temperature on Mars is -81 Fahrenheit, while the winter temperature on Everest averages -33 Fahrenheit. If you can get a tree to grow at the summit of Everest then maybe we can transplant it to grow on Mars. Good luck.
