could this kill all ancient life on Mars and make it barren instead of earthlike?
Mars is still too small to keep the core warm and the magnetosphere going.

Nice b8.

source is unimportant. Ive found it on facebook feed. Im just pondering the idea

Get a load of this normie

>small
>cold
>atmosphere already wrong for us, too much CO2, and if we change that balance it will just get colder
>perchlorate in the soil, which would make it difficult to work with
>now we think that volcanic activity there may have been so powerful as to tip the planet
Why do we see a prospect in living there again?

IFLScience is a reliable source in my book. In the 3 years I've been going there I've only seen them publish one faulty article. If you still don't believe it, they usually provide several related links within the article as sources you can check out and verify yourself.

>perchlorate
Not a /sci/ fag, but why couldn't we just perform some sort of mass chemical reaction with the percholrate to produce oxygen on mars? Then bind the chlorine to something else, and make Mars' atmosphere thicker and more protective for us?
>20 degree shift in tilt
>tipped over
Typical misleading media headlines.
>could this kill all ancient life on Mars and make it barren instead of earthlike?
It was never earthlike.
>extremely epic volcanic eruption
kill me

>Perchlorate ions
>Oxidation state: +7
What can we do with that shit?

The most common lunar minerals are, in order of decreasing quantity;
Plagioclase feldspar, Pyroxene, Olivine, and Ilmenite. Why?

Those all contain Iron, Calcium, Magnesium, Silicon, Oxygen, Aluminium and Titanium, right? Couldn't we just use a lot of moon rock on mars as some sort of chemical catalyst to remove the trapped water/ oxygen in martian soil?
>>7910663
What.
>>7910663
Are... are you fucking retarded? DO you even know how much it would cost to launch something to the Moon, let alone make something go to the moon, pick up a bunch of moon rock (Which wouldn't even be a large amount, maybe a few hundred kilos at the most) and the ship thing all the way to FUCKING MARS?

Everybody look at this man. This is the person you talk to /sci/. You hold arguments and long, long discussions about topics you're passionate about with people like this man right here.

The nitrates are easier to exploit. Heat up Martian soil, and they'll release nitric oxide. You can heat that up some more and get nitrogen and oxygen, but you can also combine it with oxygen to make NO2, which spontaneously combines at lower temperatures into N2O4, a good rocket oxidizer and a solid at Martian temperatures.

But would it act as a good greenhouse gas?
>pssst hey kid, you will want my climate science model it guarantees 100% global warming predictions, what more its runs on cloud which I invented

Yes.
