RE: Why I will not be going to Mars... Its too small
Elon Musk has plans that nuking the planet strategically will create an atmosphere and over time will create vegetation and such. Read on it here: http://www.theverge.com/2015/10/2/9441029/elon-musk-mars-nuclear-bomb-colbert-interview-explained
Sure it would be a great endeavor to teraform a planet. But without a magnetosphere the newly created atmosphere will last as long as the old one.... and we can see that atmospheric management is not an easy task (highly complex). One look at our own experience here with climate change etc. tells the story.
