>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.

>Maybe not the astronomical amount of energy needed for your ideas but still too much in the real world.
That just automatically word-filtered in my mind to 'but it requires energy we cannot produce yet'

I never said this was going to be done in the next 50 years. Terraforming of Venus and Mars will likely not even be widely discussed as a serious solution until around 2100.
