Terraforming Mars can be divided into two phases. The first phase is warming the planet from the present average surface temperature of -60ºC to a value close to Earth’s average temperature to +15ºC, and re-creating a thick CO2 atmosphere. This warming phase is relatively easy and quick, and could take about 100 years. The second phase is producing levels of O2 in the atmosphere that would allow humans and other large mammals to breath normally. This oxygenation phase is relatively difficult and would take 100,000 years or more, unless one postulates a technology breakthrough."Terraforming" (luft etc) är väl inte speciellt komplicerat men det krävs tid.

Här får man nog hitta på någon quick-fix för fiktionens skull, om det nu blir ett rollspel av detta.
