Research priorities should include the section: “Question: What procedures should be followed to terra-form Mars?” And the following sub-question: “What are the review requirements and authorizations by Science field for terra-forming? “
Tasks:
1) Identify plants that can be delivered to Mars and expected to grow given the atmosphere and soil.
2) Identify/build/test a system that can be placed nearby which can transmit plant growth status.
3) Identify quickest controllable methods for raising the oxygen level.
4) Design a drill capability to drill for water and return a sample.

The most interesting for is first one, about plants that can be deliveres to Mars. This topic is very broad and gives me so much interesting ideas!

As stated in the Astrobiology Roadmap, “Astrobiology is the study of the origins, evolution, distribution, and future of life in the universe.” Operationally, astrobiology is organized around three ancient but as yet unanswered questions: How does life begin and evolve? Does life exist elsewhere in the universe? What is the future of life on Earth and beyond? These questions are addressed by the NASA Astrobiology Program through a sustained research agenda that aligns with seven “Science Goals” that define critical areas of investigation. Each goal in turn consists of several “Science Objectives” that will guide research over the next ~ 5 years, until the next revision of the Astro-biology Road map. Here, we summarize the goals and objectives that have bearing on the study of Mercury, Venus, and the Moon. The nature of these connections is discussed in the next section.
