Off on a slight tangent. Mars has been terraformed and is now the Federation Homeworld. But is it believable? In our time, Mars has no magnetosphere, it's thought it was lost millions of years ago as the planet core cooled and solidified, which is why the solar wind stripped away the atmosphere, it's surface liquid water boiled away to space, and it became the barren corpse we are familiar with today. Earth of course is larger than Mars, the core is still liquid, and the planet's magnetic shield is still very much alive. Hence... our existence here.
Seems to me any attempt to terraform a world like Mars would be futile. Unless of course the process involves some very advanced tech for rekindling a solidified planetary core, and kick-starting a magnetosphere.
