🧠 Insight

'Terraforming Mars involves creating a habitable environment by thickening the atmosphere, raising temperatures, generating liquid water, and producing breathable oxygen, theoretically achievable through methods like deploying orbital mirrors to melt ice, importing volatiles via asteroids/comets, releasing stored CO2, introducing engineered microbes (like cyanobacteria) for oxygen, and potentially building artificial magnetic fields to protect the atmosphere, though current tech suggests it's a multi-century, resource-intensive project requiring significant scientific breakthroughs.' But when it comes to using the comets to terraform Mars, it get's a bit more theoretical. 'In theory, yes, redirecting comets to Mars is a recognized scientific proposal for terraforming, but it is not a 'quick fix' and faces massive logistical and physical hurdles. The core idea is to crash volatile-rich objects—like comets from the Kuiper Belt—into Mars to jumpstart its environment.'
