Terraforming Mars is one of the great dreams of humanity. Mars has a lot going for it. Its day is about the same length as Earth's, it has plenty of frozen water just under its surface, and it likely could be given a reasonably breathable atmosphere in time.
A new study published on the pre-print server Arxiv presents an intriguing way to give Mars such a field: rely on its moons.

Wang explained that most failures occur during this phase, typically because the communication delay between Mars and Earth is too large to accommodate the time urgency of the EDL phase.
"The spacecraft must perform autonomous guidance, navigation and control (GNC) to provide reliable key event triggers, as well as accurate and reliable state estimates to implement accurate and reliable trajectory and attitude controls," Wang said. "Any mistake may lead to a mission failure."
Russia marks 50th anniversary of reaching Mars' surface - La Prensa Latina Media
Moscow, Nov 27 (EFE).- Russia on Saturday marked the 50th anniversary of the Soviet Mars 2 becoming the first-ever spacecraft to reach the Martian surface, where it crashed.
"Of course, Mars 2 was a very important stage in our Martian investigations," Mikhail Marov, who was part of the USSR's planetary research program, told Efe.
MUNYA: Voyage to Mars Album Review | Pitchfork
Josianne Boivin's full-length debut gestures toward space opera, but her lonely disco and lo-fi aesthetic are better suited for sleepy introspection about your place on Earth.
Josianne Boivin—the woman behind MUNYA —isn't particularly alien.
As sugary soft pop, Boivin's songs make convincing invitations to roll your shoulders back and take a dip. "Cocoa Beach" cycles through melodic guitars and basslines with the soft, lazy glitter of snow.
Scientists are using the WINDS on Mars to map the first complete picture of how it was formed
SCIENTISTS are incredibly using the winds on Mars to map out the first complete picture of how it was formed three billion years ago.
The team used instruments onboard NASA's InSight lander probe to install a seismometer to determine what lies below the surface of the red planet.
Boulder's Southwest Research Institute reports new Mars Curiosity rover data
Newly interpreted data from the Mars Curiosity rover shows that physical barriers reduce radiation levels on the red planet, giving scientists at the Southwest Research Institute insight into what future human exploration on Mars might look like.
The rover's Radiation Assessment Detector, or RAD, is one of 10 instruments on Curiosity and has been making observations on Mars since the rover landed in 2012. The RAD is overseen by a team at SwRI.
