Information
Living on Mars

The notion of bringing Mars to life - transforming a cold, dry, uninhabitable desert into a living
planet - is called terraforming, has been around for almost a century. Initially just a science
fiction concept, it has become a subject of serious scientific investigation. Recent discoveries of
rocks and minerals found by the Mars rovers show it must once have had warmer, habitable living
conditions. Now, using photorealistic CGI visualizations, we'll make a science fiction dream of Mars
- a world of trees, rivers and blue skies - a plausible future, bringing it to life after three and
a half billion years in a deep freeze.

the magnetosphere on mars is too weak to hold an thick atmosphere.
so it's not really doable !

As it says in the documentary, the terraforming would be temporary. If left alone for millions of
years Mars would slowly revert back to what it is now. But I doubt we would let that happen unless
we've moved on to better pastures.
