Plants grow very well in sand and dust, take Israel, the whole country was mostly a desert with some swamps here anbd there filled with malaria flies, now however Israel makes all their own greens such as olives, cucumber, tomatoes etc.
And what does oxygen have to do with a nuke? the heat and impact a nuke creates are more than well enough to melt some ice, why do you think they actully believe they can move an asteroid headed for earth?
It wouldnt take that long to colonize mars either, if the atmosphere gets filled with the green house gas CO2 then planting engineered plants wil be no problem, making the planit habitable will take no more than 100 years and thats with the current technology. Also no gas will float away from Mars since it has its own atmosphere around it preventing that.
The only time taking step is heating up the planets wich itself could take a houndred years with current technology.
And sure it is a waste of money to go to Mars, countless billions spent on it by many countries. But it drives technology forward such as rocket engines, impulse drives, the new engine that runs on hydrogen and oxygen leaving a bi product of pure H2O, and other strong light weight materials such as kevlar.
Sure we waste alot of cash but arent we infact saving our selves from destroying ourselves with this new tech? face it, how long can earth have all those cars spewing CO2 into the atmosphere? Thats where an engine whose bi product is water comes in hand eliminating that problem.
Also I might add, USA are not doing everything by themselves, they have assistance from several countries wich in my eyes help foreign relations in the future so we wont have a real fallout here.
Besides, haven't u seen Star Trek? thats freaking cool
