Thanks to this technology, Mars could soon become habitable

What are the craziest projects right now? space travel? Put one foot on the moon? Or maybe you live on Mars? This is the last question we will deal with here. Because a former senior scientist at NASA talks about the rehabilitation of Mars, that is, the transformation of the planet into a planet that can be inhabited by humans.

The solution to life on Mars

At the moment, the red planet is uninhabitable: it is too cold, there is not enough oxygen and the air pressure is too low. But according to James Lauer Green, a planetary researcher who has worked at NASA for more than 40 years, it is possible to make Mars habitable by reclamation. How does this work? this is the question.

The expert has the answer: Roughly speaking, he wants to create an atmosphere and then use the greenhouse effect to warm Mars. This is supposed to work with the help of a huge magnetic shield that is placed between the Red Planet and our beloved Sun. This will increase the temperature and pressure and people can live there. And that without a space suit!

“It’s possible”

In other words, an artificial ring of charged particles must be created around Mars so that the solar wind cannot reach the planet. Is this possible? Yes, says James Lauer Green, who told the New York Times:

“It can be done. If you stop protecting the surface, the pressure will go up. Mars will then start reclaiming. That’s what we want. When the pressure goes up, the temperature goes up too.”

However, there is a small detail that should not be taken lightly: the magnetic field should cover the entire surface of Mars, which would require an energy comparable to the world’s total electricity consumption in 2020! Even if a Mars modification is currently under study, we probably won’t see it anymore.
