>Question One: If you terraform Mars, making it into a Garden of Eden, won't this be temporary, since Mars isn't big enough to permanently hold onto an atmosphere.

>Answer: You are absolutely correct. Mars is a small planet, and hence it's gravitational field is not strong enough to permanently hold onto a dense atmosphere, but it is sufficient to hold onto an atmosphere for thousands to millions of years, which is enough for us. Once we terraform Mars, there will be enough of an atmosphere to take of all our needs for generations to come.

>But it does mean that future generations, thousands of years from now, will have to replenish the atmosphere once again. For our purposes, however, it does not matter.

Oh, and as for Venus, why does it matter if Venus' core cools or not? The biggest problem it has is it's proximity to the sun and it's superthick CO2 atmosphere.

true hero
also sex is overrated. Don't get me wrong, sex feels good man but this idea of "you have too lose your virginity now or else you suck" is just bullshit. Sex is like a orgasm inside a woman so basically if you've had an orgasm you've had sex

Probably not.

I could see Cannabis legalized though. No real point in having an illegal plant that does fuck all.

Terraforming Mars halfway is already possible with today's technology, the reason why it's not being done, the same as the manned mission, is $.
