Question
I know there are many different theories about how to terraform Mars. Which do you suspect would be the most effective?
You might want to check out the article, "Bringing Life to Mars," in Scientific American by NASA scientist Chris McKay. McKay's article describes what may be the most plausible methods to date for terraforming Mars and eventual human colonization. The weblink below takes you to a version of this article online: http://www.sciam.com/1999/0399space/0399mckay.html You can also find the following reference in your local library: (1999). McKay, C.P. Bringing Life to Mars. Scientific American, 10, (1), 52-57.
