💬 Quote of the Day
“You want to block the UV rays to protect the organic matter”
— Neil deGrasse Tyson
🤔 Reflection Question
How do we block the UV on Mars?
Hit reply — I’d love to hear your take.
🧠 Insight
These are some of the theoretical ways of how to create a shield for the whole planet Mars: 'Theoretically, shielding Mars from UV radiation involves large-scale engineering, primarily through artificial magnetospheres generated by powerful satellites at the Sun-Mars L1 point or by planet-wrapping superconductors, or by creating a dense imported atmosphere, though these face massive power, material, and cost hurdles; however, practical solutions focus on localized shielding with water/regolith for habitats, using Mars' natural caves/pits for UV protection, or developing UV-resistant materials for infrastructure.' Do you think we'll ever be able to do any of those and put them to practice or will we just nuke the poles of the planet?
