We’re all revved up for the landing of the Curiosity rover on Mars today, but that doesn’t stop us from dreaming about a more distant future, when Mars is terraformed and turns from a red planet into ...

Chris McCay describes how to terraform Mars within about one years of starting. Chris has determined that using supergreenhouse gases like C3F8 (Octafluoropropane) would warm up the atmosphere by ...

We’ve heard about terraforming the Moon and Mars as we attempt to colonize space, but what about Venus? Could we live here ...
