Elon Musk Still Pushes the Idea of Nuking Mars

People said that an electric light bulb is not possible. But on December 1879, Thomas Alva Edison made the light bulb glow. People said that man cannot reach the moon. But on July 20, 1969, Neil Armstrong was the first man to step on the moon. People said beatles are insects. But on October 5, 1962, Beatles John, Paul, Ringo, and George released their first record “Love Me Do” which went to #17 on the British charts. And now people say that planet Mars is not habitable. But in 2015, Elon Musk said Mars can be terraformed.

 

Who is Elon Musk? He is a technology entrepreneur, investor, and engineer. In December 2016, he was ranked by Forbes as 21st of The World’s Most Powerful People” and 40th richest person in the world. He owns several companies some are:

  •  CEO at Tesla Motors. Manufacturer of Tesla Model 3, a luxury all-electric four-door sedan.
  •  CEO at Elon Musk’s Neuralink. The secretive company developing brain-machine interfaces.
  •  CEO at SpaceX. Develops and manufactures advanced rockets and spacecraft for missions to and beyond Earth orbit.

 

He is dead serious about transforming Mars into a livable planet for humans. The idea would be to heat up vast amounts of stored carbon dioxide in the planet’s poles and release it in the atmosphere by bombarding Mars with nuclear weapons. Allowing humans to move around Mars with a breathing apparatus.

However, NASA is skeptical and concludes that there aren’t enough greenhouse gases on Mars. “As a result, terraforming Mars is not possible using present-day technology,” said the lead researcher.

If this doesn’t work Elon Musk has something up his sleeves, he will create a giant sun that will gradually release the gas over time.

 

Late August 15 he told his 27.8 million Twitter followers to “Nuke Mars!” hours later he tweeted T-shirt would launch soon. With a big number of followers, his merchandise could make it as one of the fashion trendsthis 2019.

 

If great mean did not make the impossible possible, then the world would not be as it is today. Perhaps, Elon Musk will enter the history books as one the of those great men who terraformed Mars.
