Is it just me or does Mars look Terraformed?

I like how it still contains distinctly 'old martian like red patches' (when i first visited on xbox anyway) of landmass as if to suggest that our first terraforming attempt wasn't perfect. Not sure if that was the intention but it seemed like a nice touch to me.

the question is can mars be properly terraformed by theory. because you need to establish a water housng athmoshere thats stable and not just gases out the water to space and is gone. Just getting some water on the surface to make it wet and probably plant smething is maybe the lesser problem. The main issue is always if the planet supports this by physics to support and establish a workign watercircle. and wiht mars having temperatures down to -133decree celcius you would need a athmosphere or surface able to storage enough heat during day to create a proper non Life killing temperature in many rease during cold periods. The massive amount of water on earth helps doing this a lot, sinc eit stores energy by wamth quite well. And some lfuctuations like a ice age show already what heavy impacts it globally can have when tis getting a bit too cold for some time. And making mars athmosphere more dense will already have a negative impact on the bit sunlight reaching it.

another question is, how did they create large enough electromagnetic field, that protects earth. Is something about it in Elite lore?

would need giant generators creating it, which leads again to an energy question to how it all is to be powered. Clonisation of space will for mankind be all about water and energy because energy is what we can generate into heat and light magnetism.

Yes, there are theoretical models which might succeed with Mars, but in any case we are talking about processes spanning over thousands of years, rather than just one century.

They used the most potent terraforming element in all known science fiction:

Handwavium!

(Seriously: Terraforming Mars is impossible in real life and will never happen - the best we could possibly do would be paraterraforming colonies)

It wont be possible with that type of attitude, negative nancy :)

I remember that i have read science article about how to terraform mars. One way was to do what humans are the best to do. Pollution and greenhouse effect (same thing that is behind global warming on earth). Just build factories that release CO2 and it should slowly make atmosphere stronger. Then later you can start to make attempts to bring organic mas there to produce O2. But this method would take 1000 years.

thats now how physis would allow this. Mars athmosthere is like only one thenth of what we humans would need. and youc nanot make mars' athmoshere that dense because solar winds and low gravity would make this athmosphere flow away into space and be gone. Unless you can artificially generate a higher gravity.
