In civilization games, we green deserts and create oceans with a few clicks. But how long would it take to transform our neighbor, Mars, into a second Earth in real life? In this video, we examine the incredible science and massive timeline behind the terraforming project, asking "Where's the Science?"
Step by step, we delve into the hundreds of thousands of years of building Mars's atmosphere, warming the planet to melt frozen water, and, most importantly, creating breathable oxygen using cyanobacteria. We also don't forget the critical problem that could ruin everything: Mars' weak magnetic field.
Do you think humanity could ever accomplish this massive project? We're looking for your theories in the comments!
