RE: Mars Desert Research Station: My Mission to (Simulated) Mars
Very interesting! I actually thought the fact that Mars doesn't have a magnetic field was a serious issue with the idea of terraforming the planet. I find it interesting that it would take millions of years for solar winds to strip the atmosphere away. I guess Venus doesn't have an internal magnetic filed and it is closer to the sun and has a crazy thick atmosphere. I guess my big thing is still the amount of energy required to terraform and entire planet would be incredible.
