Sorry, Nerds: Terraforming Might Not Work on Mars
Listen, I get it. You want to go to Mars. I want to go to Mars. (Sort of.) And the plan\u2014it\u2019s good. A rocket with people. A base on the moon. Then more rockets and more people. Start making fuel on the surface, maybe depot it along the way. An outpost becomes a base becomes a domed city. And then: terraforming.
