Idea on terraforming Mars

Name: Anonymous 2019-04-12 16:37

Mars needs a strong magnetic field.
Thats what sustain the atmosphere.
Since Mars is geologically inert, burying strong perm-magnets all over the place would provide an artificial magnetic field on the surface.
And solar wind can be redirected.

Now how to create the atmosphere and water cycle:
Water:
Obviously transporting water from earth is both costly and denies us resources.
This will require crashing water-rich comets into Mars or mining martian rocks to convert to water.
Oxygen:
Steal it from Venus CO2 rich-atmosphere and convert to liquid form to transport - or as above refining it from rocks.
Adding CO2 will allow plants(algae) to enrich the atmosphere with oxygen and kickstart the ecosystem.
May also help terraforming Venus.

Build factories on mars specifically to produce huge magnets using the mined minerals, then bury them in a pattern of mutually supporting fields to cover the entire surface. Mark sites of magnets for maintaince and replacement.
Add magnetic strength monitors at each section of magnetic grid.
