Terraform Mars in 10 Years with Its Moon Phobos Assistance!

Ours is a special planet. Probably not unique, but certainly rare. An extraordinary combination of events has created conditions favorable to life, which has evolved into a wide variety of species, transforming it into the world we know.
Seen from space, the Earth always leaves us amazed: its "pale blue" color, as Carl Sagan had defined it, mainly due to the dispersion of sunlight in the atmosphere and the abundant mass of water in the oceans, has not yet found equals in the search for extrasolar planets.
Many factors contribute to making the Earth habitable: some are constantly (and literally) under our noses (like the air we breathe), others are less tangible but just as basic.
The moons of Mars are so small (Phobos' diameter is 22 km and Deimos is 13 km) that they have virtually zero escape velocity, so if there was a “plasma generator” such as an ablation or gas release system (powered by the already referenced nuclear reactors), the plasma would easily escape from the surface. We could use Phobos for terraforming mars.

Finally I’m not the only one that argued that you can’t terraform Mars without understanding why it was blue then it changed. It changed because it’s core cooled, magnetic field weakened, tectonic action slowed so no green house gases. Can’t terraform Mars just by running a bunch of SUVs and plant trees. Without a magnetic field. The sun will rip it away.

[scottlawson]

I don't understand why people even think about terraforming Mars- the entire reason it no longer has surface water and an atmosphere now is because it lost its magnetosphere. Unless someone restarts the internal magneto any attempts to terraform would be pointless.

[RogerM]

Terraforming Mars is an Utopian idea. Even after all that effort, the lack of a stronger Gravity or a Magnetic Field, would mean the new Atmosphere would be striped away by the Solar Rays. Domes and bunkers are a more realistic approach for a small colony on Mars, but far from the thousands, due not being economical viable.

[malbers]

If it had a larger moon its core would probably still be kicking.

[antonnym]

Nice presentation. I wonder if anyone has looked at crashing Deimos into Mars. That would generate a lot of heat, vaporize some subsurface ice. Warmer and wetter would be a nice first step.

[jameswest]

The paradox of the Magnetic Theory about Mars is obvious when you consider that Venus has no magnetic field and has a dense atmosphere. Assuming that gravity counteracts that situation is still a hypothesis. If a great deal of water were added to Mars, that might cause electrical changes from tides caused by the Moons and the wind, the fluid mantel and the clouds with a charge caused by the interaction between the clouds, the air and the ground. The water could be fired in the form of ice projectiles from the Ceres Asteroid and targeting Mars at the calculated position it will be by the time the ice projectile reaches that intersecting position. There are a number of ways the ice-bombs can be propelled...one of which could be a space-tug which could "push" the big icicles on the path necessary. Icicles once entering the Martian atmosphere would vaporize as well as hit the ground. Phobos and Deimos might be combined somehow so their tidal forces would have a favorable influence on the ocean added from Ceres.

Mars died from a close encounter with a much more massive body causing it to blow its guts out - being the iron actually from the core which was used to creating its magnetic field. Its a big job, but if you scoop up as much of that red iron oxide as possible and drop it back into the core should help to fix itself up over time. You might even drop some huge iron asteroids onto the surface and then put that bits into the core also to build it up...like I said - big job taking hundreds of years but would help a lot I think.

As Someone who studies a alot if content relating astronomy and physics, I find your content both easily understandable to a wide audience, and very reliable. Great work keep up the good research

[hotrodsonulondon]

Is it possible to kick start a planet, just like in the movie The Core ?.

[frankhoffman]

There is contrversy as to how Earth's magnetic field is produced, yet the video presents a theory it treats as certain. Before we go on creating a Martian magnetic field, we better be pretty damn certain we know what we're doing.

[cg]

Its moon fobas? You mean phobos COME ON MANNNN

[winter-survivor]

Could some of the Mars lost water ended up on Earth? So without Mars water the Earth's oceans would be much shallow.

[maximilianisaaclee]

Wait, you forgot about Mercury, being too small isn't the main reason why Mars doesn't have a magnetic field, Mercury is smaller but still retains a magnetic field, albeit a small one. Please be more complete with the info

[walterszewczyk]

We must use the " Genesis Wave" .

[mortkebab]

Venus has no magnetosphere so why hasn't the solar wind blown its atmosphere away?

[evilbetty]

i thought iron looses its magnetic field as it heats up?

[japundzicslx]

Humans not able to save the Eath now thinking of terraforming the Mars. What could go wrong?

[Peoples_Republic_of_Cotati]

To power magnetic field to protect Mars, make a big ring of solar collectors in orbit, transmit the power to a Lagrange 1 station with the necessary gear, and it's own solar collectors to balance the pressure from the orbital ring.

Plunge the moons into Mars. Restarting the molten core. Then perhaps, like earth with Thera it could conceivably throw up enough matter into an orbit around mars and eventually cause a moon to form that would keep the core molten.
