Explanation:
Even if we somehow managed to introduce enough carbon dioxide and oxygen in the Martian atmosphere—and sustained liquid water on the surface––the resulting Earth-like conditions would probably be short-lived.
NASA’s MAVEN mission has revealed that Mars is losing its atmosphere even today. The planet’s lack of a protective magnetic field means the solar wind will continue stripping its atmosphere and water, reverting our changes to Mars or constantly degrading them.
In short, it seems very improbable that we could transform Mars into a more Earth-like planet. In the meantime, NASA’s multi-decade Mars program seeks to understand the planet’s suitability to host past or present life. Near-term Martian explorers would likely live in enclosed structures on the surface or subsurface, built using material from the Red Planet. For now, would-be terraformers will have to humbly hone their ideas on how to transform Mars into an open world.
