Elon Musk , and his company SpaceX , has a plan to take control of Mars . They want to “ terraform ” the dusty red planet to make it green and livable like our Mother Earth .
The topography of Mars is described as :
“ A hypothetical program that will consist of a planetary engineering project or a concurrent project , with the purpose of transforming the planet from hostile life to life on earth so that it can sustainably accommodate humans and other unprotected or mediated life forms . Presumably , the process will involve restoring the existing climate , atmosphere and surface of the earth through various resource-intensive programs and the installation of one or more new ecosystems .” ( Wikipedia , 2021 ).
It is estimated that more than 10,000 nuclear bombs will be required to implement Musk ’ s plan . A nuclear bomb will also make Mars radioactive . The nuclear bomb that Musk wants to build will be transported to Mars by the 1,000-spacecraft fleet Musk wants to build , similar to the nuclear bomb that exploded on December 9 , 2020 . Such radioactivity will undoubtedly incur long-term damage to Earth .
