Not practical. Most of the land area would have no one living there nor a workforce to maintain the dome. Best to start with a few habs and spread out from there as population and industrial demands grow. Make underground habitation or something, I don’t know.

>>10218559
Martian gravity isn’t the problem, Titan is much less massive than mars but has a denser atmosphere than we do. The problem is the magnetosphere is shit so solar wind will degrade it over time. Maybe we could fix it but that level of planetary engineering is for speculative sci-fi.

[Anonymous No.10218697]

We won't.
The soil is toxic, the core is geologically dead, there is no magnetosphere so it cops the full solar wind, the atmosphere is pretty much a vacuum. It's colder than Antarctica. The gravity will cause health problems.

It’d be easier to construct than an analogous structure on earth because Mars has less gravity. Keep it modular so that the odd meteorite doesn’t kill the entire colony, but it should be easily possible even with contemporary construction techniques. The thing that makes such a suggestion very difficult is transporting the construction materials to mars as well as some kind of entity to assemble it, human or robot, or locating the manufacturing facilities on mars itself. That’s why I’d rather dig.

[Anonymous No.10218795]

I think we could partially terraform it, it wouldn't allow humans to live outside the domes but uit could give native Mars life a chance. or if there is no life on mars, transplanted human bacteria and plants.

Maybe in the far future we might be able to make Mars a 2nd natural home to humans, but Venus would more likely be first than mars would.

I pretty much set the foundation for the jello baby meme. I don't consider Mars a long term home for anyone.

However I have to admit the necessity of establishing a large temporary settlement there. I'll save the explanations of why for another time.

So lets talk how to go about it...

Step one is to select a site. Somewhere close the the equator near one of the gravitational/ magnetic anomolies. For extra radiation protection and also because this is likely to be the site of a large metallic upwelling from the core which has now cooled.

You want a crater. Something maybe 500m accross. Then you want to dome it. You want the seal the edges with non-porous material, probably clay. This is to prevent catastrophic leakage of water and air.

The poison in the soil and water is an issue. Distillation won't remove it so we need carbon for this. Activated charcoal more precisely.

So now you have a domed crater you have a greenhouse. One you can pressurise. Temperature is the first hurdle to overcome before plants will grow and we have overcome it with the dome.

Now lets take care of the people. We need a circular tunnel bored into the rock surrounding the crater. A rail system needs to be added to this. Now we can attach a habitation module like a rail carriage. It swings around at high speed creating a moderate centrifugal force. Combined with existing gravity we can match 1g. For sleeping.

Soil can be cleaned of the toxins by baking it. Purifying the initial supply of water will be expensive but you can recycle it once it has been added to your cycle.

Now you want woody shrubs with fast growth in arid conditions to provide a source of carbon to begin cleaning more water.

It's highly likely that fertilisers will need to be imported for some time but Mars can export bulk quantities of construction materials into space in trade.

From here things gradually ramp up until you have an ecosystem in a bubble. Multiply this to provide additional habitat.

[Anonymous No.10218988]

>>10218960
So now we have comfortable, happy colonists producing soil, activated charcoal and pure water. Lets build some fairly ordinary poly tunnels on the surrounding surface and begin crop production.

Congratulations our colony is now practically self sufficient.

Now it's time to begin the industrial revolution. We need calcium and charcoal so we can start producing large quantities of steel. The mining industry needs to begin followed by refineries.

But why are we mining Mars?

Well it's an unsuitable long term home for people so we need to start making something better for them. Enter our first supermassive space habitat, which by the way, doubles as a giant magnet to protect the martian atmosphere from the solar wind.

Industry has been pumping massive amounts of co2 into the atmosphere and things are strting to get warmer. The seasonal sublimation of co2 from the poles in no longer seasonal. It is now a permanent part of the atmosphere.

A little boost from CFCs and other warming chemicals and we have liquid surface water. It still needs to be cleaned of toxins so activated charcoal is key here.

Once you have cleaned large portions of the surface soil and water of poisons it's time to plant trees and grasses.

From here natural processes take over.

However I consider it unlikely that the martian surface will be terraformed. The whole place is just too valuable and a foundry and factory.

It's much more likely that we will make the surface of Mars more toxic not less so.

But the people in the habitat won't care because they will be experiencing the garden of eden. An utterly sublime, perfect environment.

Nuclear weapons to melt polar caps and release more atmosphere which will result in warming and releasing more atmosphere from permafrost.
To retain this thickened atmosphere for several millions of years a space station generating magnetic field can be inserted between Mars and the Sun deflecting if not all the at least some of the erosive solar wind. Not required and may be left to the distant future.

If nuclear weapons are not available which is likely then solar reflectors may be utilized.

I could see it being feasible in some special cases.
Some rocky planet that's not geologically dead is found around a nearby star in it's habitable zone and it's demonstrably sterile of native life. Establish domed research outposts.
Experiment on trying to induce abiogenesis in isolated areas since you have a natural laboratory.
Introduce photo and chemosynthetic life where applicable.
Let them go nuts and do what they did billions of years ago and change the atmosphere.
Instead of letting it find an equilibrium naturally introduce other canned life forms to help regulate, carefully layering in new trophic levels and creating simple food webs. Once you've got your slimy green oceans going you can spend your time carefully geoengineering outward from your original domed cities.
It would be a long term project, but if you found a potentially habitable world just over the horizon that you had an opportunity to turn into eden, why not?
I think what most people fail to realize is that earth's atmosphere doesn't just come from nowhere, its a byproduct of life itself. You don't breathe clean oxygen without trees, grass, and little green microbes in the ocean.

Wrong, my brainlet friends. The only thing magnetosphere does is protect the atmosphere from being stripped off by solar wind on geological timescales.

Atmosphere is what protects against radiation, and that is true on both Earth and Mars. The issue on Mars is that atmosphere is not thick enough to offer good protection against galactic cosmic rays, only solar flares.

Done. Once you can walk around with nothing but a heavy jacket and an oxygen mask then it's terraformed enough, or as much as you are going to get it. Sure, you could introduce an oxygen atmosphere with photosynthetic life, but the oxygen would just get absorbed by the surface of Mars, undoing all your effort of creating a thick atmosphere.

Even if it were possible then you would have reached the point where it has become possible to live sustainably on Earth. In which case it becomes economically pointless. Might as well just mine the asteroids for minerals.
