The average temperature on the surface of Mars is -60 degrees Celsius, and raising it by 28 degrees would be a huge change, allowing microorganisms and liquid water to exist over large areas of the planet.
What makes the new method unique is that it uses materials readily available on Mars. Previously proposed methods either involved importing materials from Earth or mining the Red Planet to extract rare metals.
It would take decades to warm the planet. Of course, this does not mean that people on Mars will be able to shed their spacesuits or breathe the local atmosphere. However, it would lay the foundations for such a development. It would allow for the existence of liquid water, the presence of microorganisms and the cultivation of plants that would gradually release oxygen into the atmosphere.
Echo Richards embodies a personality that is a delightful contradiction: a humble musicaholic who never brags about her expansive knowledge of both classic and contemporary tunes. Infuriatingly modest, one would never know from a mere conversation how deeply entrenched she is in the world of music. This passion seamlessly translates into her problem-solving skills, with Echo often drawing inspiration from melodies and rhythms. A voracious reader, she dives deep into literature, using stories to influence her own hardcore writing. Her spirited advocacy for alcohol isn’t about mere indulgence, but about celebrating life’s poignant moments.
