Why not Nuke Mars?

By that logic, we're never going to get off Earth.

Does anybody know what a bomb like the tzar would do in a little to zero oxygen,low gravity,low atmopheric pressure environment?Did a quick google search with mixed opinions. Some say bigger blast radius due to lack of gravity in a space explosion,but destructive power less due to no oxygen or atmosphere.Mars has a thin atmosphere and as far as we know no oxygen.Any ideas?

Nuking Mars might work. The US and the Soviet Union made clean bombs. The H-bomb is basically a clean bomb. except for the trigger. The purposefully made them dirtier with testing and wrapping in cobalt. So the radiation wouldn't have to be as bad as some people are making it. Probably not as bad as all of the nuclear waste we stockpiling every year around the world by nuclear power plants. They can produce some artificial magnetic belts around Mars by exploding some high above Mars, like they did on Earth with StarFish Prime. They haven't found any life on Mars yet. Give it a go. Drop one on that huge volcano too.

I have a whole heap of old e-mails from the odd prick...

I do not endorse this theory one way or the other.

Why would we do that? I never heard this before.

Time to check google!

Tell me about project Genesis!!!

Okay, that is out of my system. What you propose is genius. I liken you to that one surfer dude that came up with the equation for everything.

What? And nuke all that ancient technology, and bases they have built!

Of course, you are assuming what you have been told about the atmosphere on Mars is acurate, and not a truck load of bollox.

Mars has (IF you are allowed to see true colour photo and video, which is rare) a BLUE atmosphere. Blue atmosphere, indicates a Nitrogen/Oxygen atmosphere...what colour would an 80 odd % CO2 atmosphere be?

spikey.

I remember an article going back to 1988 in an Astronomy magazine, i have stashed..it wa about terrafroming mars to an earth like place. The idea at that time, since about 1765, as an idea only, was to set of nukes on Phobos, one of its moons, sending it crashing into mars..the material blown up into the sky, would block out the sun and its deadly UV rays, long enough, for humans with suits on, to plant or garden trees, msot liekly via a greenhuose with earth dirt.
Nukes would already contaminate everything that isnt contaminated..regardless of its surface recieving 92% or more of the suns UV. Would also mean humans would have to wait god knows how many thousands of years. Nukes might knock mars off its axis as well. That is an older nuclear war scare, aat least here on earth..IF russia and USA had gone nuclear on echother, thier was a fear, the earth would be knocked off its axis, completely changing life as we know it, for all they know.

sorry, typo, 1765 should be 1965*

I was going to say! Nukes, in 1765?! That really would be evidence of hiding technology eh?
