what year is the first martian suicide or homicide by 96% co2 atmosphere?
@pete TIL. i didn't realize it was that low pressure - i knew it was lower but not that much. how on earth (lol) is the terraforming going to work? where does the gas come from? underground water?
@sneak IIRC the realistic terraforming plans don't get you a breathable atmosphere, just a warm planet. Humans would live under domes.
@sneak see you at the party, richter
@sneak Never. It's the near vacuum that'll kill you, not the CO2. The martian atmosphere has something like 1% the pressure of earth's.
Well, unless someone goes to the effort of using that CO2 to pressurize a space.
