Why not Nuke Mars?

Finally someone talking logic about the subject... I agree Dreamland.

We may have been talking about it... but as they say talk is cheap. Expecially with the government.

like i said, we personally wont see it happen but its a possibility for future generations

Htown: We are able to use Ballistic missiles on Earth and send missles out of the Earths Atmosphere, and back into the atmosphere of the Earth onto another country and then nuke them with the war head that's inside. I think we are able to send a nuke out of the Earths atmosphere, make it travel to Mars, and detonate on the polar ice caps. Let alone even contemplating using advanced technology to take a nuke to mars and then drop it off.

Yes we can if NASA puts its all its energy and resources into it. But the chances of the mission being a failure is really high.

The nuke can explode in take off or in the atmosphere or in mid orbit or just before it reaches Mars. It is way too dangerous to be tried out.

When did we do the Rage? Because, I sure never heard of that.

Plus, for the last time, think how long it would take. How much money it would cost? Guess? I have a relitave answer.

WE DIDN'T INVENT UFO'S! The discs that were made ALL FAILED. READ ABOUT IT SOMETIME ON A STIE THAT IS UPDATED, your sources are very poor otherwise.

Yet the US/russia have thousands of warheads on missiles capable of flight....
They can explode during take off, mid air, in the atmosphere, too,. Dont u know they did alot of atmospheric test on earth Even in space?

And they all have regular engines, that will probably fail somewhere around the moon.

Yes, but those missiles were meant to attack targets on earth not a planet millions of miles away.

To get to mars you need a lot of fuel with translates into a lot of weight.

building a nuke like the Tzar bomb, Putting it on a rocket with boosters, and sending it to mars, to plummet down on the Ice caps would cost just as much to send up a probe to mars. maybe a little but more, but it wouldn't be much more. It's just to do with the weight of the nuke. But i still think it wouldn't be much more.






It's called black ops. Secret stuff ur not meant to know about. U really think the most advanced thing is an Aurora, or something that uses rockets as engines? gimme a break.

But, we don't even know everything about our own planet... let alone know much about Mars. Do we need this?

no-one mentioned needing it... its just a possibility... theres alot of things we do that we dont need to do... but we do just to prove we can...

That's true... and it's completely stupid. But, true. But, is there a significant reason to? And exactly why do we need to prove that we can?

It's something the human race can aspire to. Enkoy. Make the scientific minds of the world think, employ better technology.

It's not a question of do we need this. Of course we dont NEED it. In fact it would be great to spend heaps of money and ideas into making this world a better, safer, greener place.

Nasa gets what? 12 billion a year?

Howmuch did the Iraq war cost? something like 700 billion so far?
How much is spent on the environment? exploring the Earth? Making the Earth better?

Making you're own country better.
Better living for the people of Earth?

Adding 5 billion dollars to do something sucha s nuke the polar ice caps of mars to make mars mroe habitable for the future, and getting the greenhouse gases going, for maybe future generations to use mars, and colonize it, wont be taking much away from the rest of the world, as the rest of the worl jsut throws their money down the drain.

I can't believe this... You specifically said flying discs anyway. The fuel, the engines, all of that maybe the same... you can never really tell... but I'm guess about a quarter of the price for a probe launch.

And you give me a break... I know Aurora isn't the most advanced... I toy with everyone on advanced technology, it's fun and if you know whats most advanced you'd know about Operation: Sky Blue.

You know your stuff, I'm sure.

So, since you're now the resident expert, why don't you tell us all about operation "Sky Blue"?

ACtually I cant remember that operation off the top of my head.

But still Flying saucers would be possible using technology from all over the world. I guarantee it. t might be a little expensive, or mightn't be, BUT the fact remains, that once built it would be worth it.

Let's see what he says DaRage.

Why would it be worth it? What do we get out of?

are you ignoring my request for more information on Sky Blue?
