    The idea of watching mars atmosphere being terraformed back so liquid water could stay on the surface again scratches every itch in my body and it’s the first time I’ve felt loss at the fragility of human lifespan

      You may enjoy the Red Mars/Blue Mars/Green Mars series from Kim Stanley Robinson.

      I confess I only got part way through because it’s more a political thriller with a sci-fi backdrop. But what I read was pretty good.

      The crazy thing about terraforming another planet is that you could (re-)terraform the Earth for less resources.

      Let’s move half of Venus’s atmosphere to Mars and get both

      Disclaimer yes I know that that’s actually way too much atmosphere on Mars
