Terraforming of Mars

Planets and Dwarf Planets

Terraforming of Mars is a proposed form of planetary engineering intended to transform Mars into a world that could sustainably host humans and other life without protection. It would modify the planet's climate, atmosphere and surface, and establish ecological systems. Mars is considered a possible target because of its water and geological history, but low gravity, toxic soil and other hazards present difficulties. The project is considered infeasible with present-day technology.
