Bad news comes to those who dream of changing Mars' environment to make it a second earth, the red planet does not have enough carbon gas to create a thick enough atmosphere to make it habitable, according to scientists.
A study released in the magazine “Nature Astronomy” analyzes the idea that technologies can enable the transformation of this desolate and dry planet to make it the same as Earth.
This is the concept of the planetary <x0).
Respect for NASA-re habitable missions towards Mars in medium-term terms and the establishment of human colonies, mentioned by billionaire Elon Mousk, have prompted researchers to further analyse this hypothesis protected by the owner of “SapceX”
We wanted to see what was possible to do with carbon dioxide (CO2) and with the current state of technology Bruce Yakosky, Colorado University at Boulder (SHBA) and the lead author of this study.
Less than Earth, Mars has a very poor atmosphere, atmospheric pressure is very low, and it is very cold, the average temperature is - 63 degrees Celsius.
The purpose of this transformation is for Mars to be equipped with a thicker atmosphere, just like that of Earth”, explains Bruce Yakovsky.
The key to this transformation of the environment is carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas that is trapped in stones and Martian glaciers.
If we manage to release this gas into the atmosphere, we can hope it gets more dense, the planet warms up, and increasing the pressure of the atmosphere, it becomes possible for liquid water to stay on the surface”, the researcher noted.
But we have found that there is not enough carbon dioxide to create enough climate warming, even if we manage to release it completely into atmosphere”, he says, follows Arsch.
In fact, the CO2 present would only enable a triple of the Martian atmosphere, which is the amount of weather pressure needed to make Marisne habitable for man, and would increase the temperature to -10 degrees Fahrenheit.
Moreover, it is very difficult to release this CO2”, says this scientist.
