A nuclear explosion which changes an asteroid's velocity by 10 meters/second (plus or minus 20%) would be adequate to push it out of an Earth-impacting orbit.

Terraforming Mars? Is it even possible?

According to a study conducted by NASA, and other groups, say it's not possible (right now) because we lack the technology to do it.

To terraform Mars we'd need to first create an atmosphere to warm the planet up. To do that we'd need to strengthen the magnetosphere, which is the protective magnetic layer that shields Earth from the Sun’s ultraviolet radiation – and a thicker atmosphere.

Mar's atmosphere is currently almost entirely composed of carbon dioxide, with scant amounts of oxygen. The planet would also need to be much warmer; its surface temperature is, on average, -81 degrees Fahrenheit.

If we managed to warm the planet up, we’d then release frozen CO2 reserves at the planet’s polar caps and elsewhere. That would help thicken the atmosphere, making it possible for water, rather than ice, to exist on the surface – conditions that would make it easier to introduce plants, which produce oxygen.

But how could we even start the warming process?

Of course Elon Musk has the answer. Nuke it. That is have several nukes explode above the thin atmosphere to create mini-suns, which could theoretical warm things up.

Others have suggested to warm the Martian planet by diverting asteroids into the poles, and the production, on a massive scale, of CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons) – potent greenhouse gasses that are not good for Earth’s ozone layer but which would help heat Mars. Even more outlandish of an idea involves the creation of a huge space mirror as large as the side of Mars, reflecting vast amounts of additional sunlight onto the Red Planet.

The reason Mars is our only shot to extend life beyond earth is because the planet has shown it supported an atmosphere in its past at one time.

Space fact: Space is completely silent, despite what you might have seen on Star Wars. Sound waves require some kind of medium to travel through. Sound waves do not travel through the vacuum of space. Radio waves are able to travel through space, though, so if you ever find yourself in space, just radio in, and we'll hear you.

Ron DeSantis is a trojan horse we cannot trust. We believe he is GW Bush and Jeb! on steroids. Don't judge him on what he is doing currently to get votes. Look at his past record. In 2018 he was the co-sponsor of the Puerto Rico Act. This bill, if passed, would have made Puerto Rico our 51st state giving Democrats (2) more Senators in their column. The bill would have trampled over our constitution. https://congress.gov/bill/115th-congress/house-bill/6246/cosponsors
