Terraforming Mars
A new NASA-sponsored study shows it's just a pipedream to make Mars habitable using current technology. Elon Musk has theorized about nuking the Martian poles (no, really) to release carbon dioxide and water vapor, creating a greenhouse effect that would warm up the Red Planet enough to keep water liquid and people alive. But it turns out Mars doesn't have the proven CO2 levels needed to make the plan viable. Fortune
