>> But surely terraforming a barren wasteland is going to be easier than terraforming a (relative) oasis of life!

Actually, terraforming a barren wasteland might indeed be easier than preventing the oasis we have from being turned into a barren wasteland.

Bc u guys are pretending not to know that everything we are doing to destroy earth could terraform mars. Thankfully an inviolable astronomical honor code not only preserves the native conditions of another planet, it prevents countries from having a destructive proxy war on the planet to try to invasively experiment and “reform” it to their own ends. Anyway, space junk in the Earth’s orbit was also a very dangerous problem. The explosive substrate starting w/a p or something on the surface of Mars that activates in contact w oxygen or something could make things difficult if I recall correctly. Giant 3d spaceprinters are sweet. There is also the largest known cloud of water vapor floating Out there diamond planets and more inhabitable moons etc

You could not destroy Earth even if you tried. You can have some success in killing most of the humans and some other life forms.

anything we use to make mars more habitable can be used 1000x easier on earth.

I’m sorry I haven’t made it obvious that I’m committed to working for this sinking ship rather than pitching quantum computers, consciousness transference in mice, or antimatter cubes, all of which i’m assuming most ppl who hack are aware of.
