instead of nuking the martian land

[Anonymous No.10917974]

why don't we instead sent a nuke to deimos?
we barely have enough nuclear power to actually pull this off, we let a domino effect take place.
through advanced physics and trigonometry we calculate on how to veer off the small martian moon torwards phobos.
we detonate the super nuke and push deimos torwards phobos and let the 2 moons fall down torwards mars, the 2 moons together have enough power to equal the force that destroyed the dinosaurs and that put an end to a era.
mars will literally have its own new red spot and have a smouldering crater deeper than the mariana trench alongside unleashing the worst dust storm in the solar system, super heated dust that will melt the poles safely and make mars have a thicker atmosphere.
after its over which the worst will past after 4 years, we go and colonize there with better odds at inhabiting the martian world.
as a bonus we have free iron.

try looking up how powerful a nuke is. a nuke can barely destroy a single city. if you nuked a city block in new york, 10 streets down would be fine. how would a nuke terraform an entire planet?

you are right, can we still visit or somehow convince people to transform mars into a giant minery?

[Anonymous No.10921249]

>>10921240
wait...you mean he won't make things easier for the people going there?
because if I was elon, I would have already get ready the nukes for the fall of the martians moons and create the kratos valley(the crater).
deeper than the marianas trench and in the bottom we have a precious giant metal core remains from where to build our mining factories or some shit like that.
it will be perfect and cheap, alongside making myself richer for obtaining an actual solution to a problem.

That was a nuke from ww2 era.

deimos has 483km2 and a diameter of 12.6km(7.8m)
can we move it with a nuke?

Maybe. But it would be a really retarded way of doing so.

Enough nukes will fix this.

Rather than a nuke

nuclear thrusters, slowly perturbing the orbit at the right moments.

[Anonymous No.10922077]

Or mine all the metals from the moons and build mirrors in orbit. You can calculate how much time does it take for the mirrors to reflect more energy than all of Earths arsenal.

[Anonymous No.10922535]

>>10921397
its the cheapest and most optimal way of doing so.
like billiards but on a planetary scale.
>>10921426
maybe but it will be really expensive to do so and those thruster will be lost in the explosion after it crashes on mars alongside the other moons.

[Anonymous No.10922541]

>>10922077
what I am afraid is the very composition of mars moon if we go that route.
there is a chance that the moons may not have enough to pull it off.
it could work but I am afraid that it won't last long enough.
besides it will be far too expensive and complicated, but possible, the main problem here is stingy rich faggots who won't give shit to build the giant mirrors.
but they have more than enough money to give if it means launching deimos torwards mars and take with it phobos.

Is it even possible for humans to live on mars?

[Anonymous No.10923491]

nope.
radiation is too strong.
we'll need to dig many kilometers below the surface in order to actually live and the gravity will still cuck us hard.

oh wow, a whole island. theres an island near me thats like 10 feet by 20 feet. nukes are way smaller than i thought. (islands isnt a unit of measurement is my point, since you are too retarded to understand my sarcasm)

[Anonymous No.10924171]

our strongest nuke is about 100 megatons of energy right?
then if deimos is 7.8m in diameter and 483km2 we should be capable of pushing the moon in a collision course
though just barely and if we put it at the correct distance

[Anonymous No.10924277]

Martian moons, how small they maybe, still provide stability to Mars' rotational axis. Eliminating them and crashing them into Mars. would destabilize the planet and make it potentially impossible to terraform due to seasonal variations.

...are you sure about that?
because I don't see how the fuck something like that could affect the martian world.
just lool at them and tell me they do shit.
if it was ceres orbiting mars then you'll be 100% right.

humanity need hope for space exploration i guess? i can't find another reason, seem like a waste of time and money right now or in 20 years , we should fix this shithole first then build an outpost on the Moon. make better ships, nuclear Fusion, make artificial gravity in a space ships, without it we can't travel long distances, for example only 6 months in space without gravity and your body is fucked

You know this isn't true. A modern nuke certainly has more destructive power than a fucking grenade or whatever you were thinking of. A single nuke would erase the entirety of Manhattan.

Yeah, unlike the nuke option, which will leave it perfectly intact and ready to be used again, right?

We have literal thousands of nukes just wasting away, enough to destroy every city in the world many times over

[Anonymous No.10926125]

>>10926053
dude, the nuke is a damn bomb.
if a nuke can't explode then what was the damn point of building the device?.
the nuclear thruster will only be used if we intend to use the 100% of deimos and phobos.
I highly doubt those greedy bastards will ever approve of a mission to transform and carve both moons into fucking space stations.
its cheaper to simply explode a 100mt nuke on deimos and let the destructive domino effect take place.

WHY IS THIS THREAD STILL UP? IT WOULD TAKE BILLIONS OF NUKES TO CHANGE THE ORBIT OF A FUCKING MOON ON ANY APPRECIABLE TIMESCALE. IT ISN'T POSSIBLE OR ECONOMICAL.

Mass of deimos: 1.5*10^15kg
Energy of tsar bomba: 210*10^15 J
Let's assume you could use half of its energy to reduce the velocity of deimos.
v=sqrt(2E/m)
sqrt(210*10^15/1.48*10^15)=11.9

So with the energy of one (1) tsar bomb you could slow down deimos by 11.9 m/s

[Anonymous No.10929569]

>>10928529
the strongest bomb have 100megatons.
does that have enough power to veer off deimos from its orbit?

[Anonymous No.10929648]

>>10926044
Modern nukes can have plenty of destructive power due to efficient design, but the current paradigm is lower yield precision nukes, especially on ICBMs. Big nukes are wasteful, and most of the energy doesn't go into destroying the target. Big single warheads are also easy to shoot down, which is why MIRV type warheads are used. Tsar Bomba style nukes have gone the way of the battleship.
