Terraforming Mars is usually considered in the realm of science fiction. But actually we have technology to start doing it in our lifetime and achieve some meaningful results it a timescale of tens of years, not thousands. What are they? Finding out in this interview.

La decepción. Clint nos cuenta su experiencia con su último juego de campaña que prometía cien horas de juego... y terminó en Wallapop. ¿Es el tamaño un factor decisivo a la hora de comprar? Moon Colony Bloodbath: Un pepino inesperado. Analizamos este dinámico juego de cartas con deckbuilding y gestión de colonia lunar que ha conquistado en Pijama para dos.

This week Julius and I talk about the smaller version of Terraforming Mars. Well, one of the smaller versions. The game is the very lovely love-child of Terraforming Mars & Race for the Galaxy, Ares Expedition. In this game, you are working to make Mars a habitable planet by managing the temperature & oxygen levels while raising oceans. The theme is straight out of Terraforming Mars. However, you do it by choosing actions and playing cards simultaneously, just like Race for the Galaxy.

Astronomy Daily - The Podcast: S03E193Welcome to Astronomy Daily, your trusted source for the latest space and Astronomy news. I'm your host, Anna, and today we have an exciting lineup of stories, from the edge of our solar system to surprising discoveries closer to home.Highlights:- Voyager 1 Communication Challenges: NASA's Voyager 1, 15 billion miles from Earth, recently faced communication issues due to a fault protection system trigger. After switching to a backup S band system, NASA successfully reestablished contact, showcasing the spacecraft's resilience and the challenges of maintaining aging technology in interstellar space.- China's Tiangong Space Station Mission: A new crew of three astronauts launched to China's Tiangong Space Station, marking another milestone in the nation's space exploration. Notably, Wang Haozi joins as China's only female spaceflight engineer, contributing to lunar soil experiments that align with China's lunar ambitions.- Potential Ocean on Uranus's Moon Miranda: Research suggests Miranda might host a subsurface ocean beneath its chaotic surface. This discovery positions Miranda among other potential ocean worlds, expanding our understanding of liquid water in the solar system.- Mars's Extended Magnetic Field: New findings from Harvard suggest Mars's protective magnetic field lasted longer than previously thought. This extended timeline implies more favorable conditions for life to have developed, challenging assumptions about Mars's early history.- Terraforming Mars for Tree Growth: Research from Warsaw University explores the conditions needed to grow trees on Mars, focusing on the Hellas Basin for its potential to support Martian forests, bringing us closer to transforming the Red Planet.- Comet C 2024 S1 Atlas Disintegration: The comet, initially promising a bright Halloween display, disintegrated after a close solar encounter. Its demise offers insights into comet compositions and the extreme conditions near the Sun.For more cosmic updates, visit our website at astronomydaily.io.

Ever since the dawn of the space age, there have been some who have dreamed of establishing a human presence on Mars. However, despite being really far away, Mars is not exactly hospitable to humans. Some suggest that the answer might be to completely change Mars's environment, to radically change its atmosphere, and, over time, to turn it into a second Earth where humans could live. Learn more about the idea of terraforming Mars, what would need to be done, and the challenges it would face in this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

The 365 Days of Astronomy, the daily podcast of the International Year of Astronomy 2009
http://www.astronomycast.com/archive/ From July 7, 2008. And now we reach the third part of our trilogy on the human exploration and colonization of Mars. Humans will inevitably tire of living underground, and will want to stretch their legs, and fill their lungs with fresh air. One day, we'll contemplate the possibility of reshaping Mars to suit human life. Is it even possible? What technologies would be used, and what's the best we can hope for? We've added a new way to donate to 365 Days of Astronomy to support editing, hosting, and production costs. Just visit: https://www.patreon.com/365DaysOfAstronomy and donate as much as you can!

Vast amounts of water found on Mars, but there's a catch, Milky Way and Andromeda might not merge after all, a planet found before it gets destroyed, and an easier way to terraform Mars.
Welcome to Astronomy Daily, your go-to Podcast for the latest news in space and Astronomy. I'm your host, Anna. Today, we have an exciting lineup of stories to share with you. We'll dive into NASA's decision-making process on whether to extend astronauts' stay aboard the International Space Station amidst ongoing issues with the Boeing Starliner capsule. We'll also explore a groundbreaking new method developed by researchers to terraform Mars using engineered nanoparticles, a technique that could make the red planet more hospitable for future colonists. We'll also look at NASA's Perseverance rover as it embarks on a challenging new mission to climb the western rim of Jezero Crater in search of ancient life signs. Lastly, we'll shed light on a fascinating project by Honeybee Robotics to install massive streetlights on the moon, which could revolutionize future lunar exploration. Stay tuned as these stories promise to be out of this world.- **NASA's ISS Dilemma with Boeing Starliner**: NASA is currently in a critical decision phase, determining the fate of two astronauts stationed aboard the International Space Station. - **Terraforming Mars with Engineered Nanoparticles**: Researchers from the University of Chicago and Northwestern have unveiled a revolutionary approach to warming Mars, potentially making the red planet more conducive to life. Their method involves using engineered dust particles to increase Mars' temperature by over 50 degrees Fahrenheit. - **Perseverance Rover's New Mission**: Speaking of Mars, NASA's Perseverance rover is gearing up to tackle one of its toughest challenges yet—climbing the western rim of Jezero Crater. This ascent marks the start of its fifth science campaign since it touched down on the red planet in February 2021. - **Honeybee Robotics' Lunar Streetlights**: Finally, Honeybee Robotics has put forward a fascinating proposal to help illuminate the long, dark lunar nights with massive streetlights. This project, known as Lunar Saber, aims to construct 330-foot tall towers on the moon that will store solar energy and provide powerful floodlight illumination during the lunar nights, which last the equivalent of two Earth weeks.

Tonight on GeekNights, we consider the games one can play at the beach. We've previously talked about the beach, and also Yard Games, so now we bring an intersection of the two. Also Beach Soccer and Terraforming Mars. In the news, the Nintendo Direct had some good stuff (especially the long awaited Metroid Prime 4) and you don't need an Xbox to play Xbox games.Related LinksForum ThreadBeach GamesDiscord ChatBeach GamesThings of the DayRym - High Power Rocketry FAIL COMPILATIONScott - Ken Griffey Jr. Presents MLB by Peanut Butter the Dog
Board games have been popular for more than a century -- some date back to the ancient world. But in the late 20th Century up until now, the buzzword has been tabletop games -- broadly speaking, elaborate games of skill, strategy, and luck that have generated intense fandoms since the late 1990s. While we've already covered the classic board games popular in our youth, the Great Pop Culture Debate now wants to determine the Best Modern Tabletop Game. Games discussed: Settlers of Catan, Pandemic, Codenames, Forbidden Island, Betrayal at the House on the Hill, Azul, Kingdomino, Carcasonne, Splendor, Ticket to Ride, Wingspan, and more. Join host Eric Rezsnyak, GPCD panelists Bob Erlenback and Trey Radu-Blackburn, and special guest tabletop aficionado Jared Tannenbaum as they discuss and debate 16 of the most popular contemporary board games.

Game Brain: A Board Game Podcast with Matthew Robinson and his Gaming Group
Ben and Paul talk about recent plays of Inventions, Terraforming Mars, and City of the Big Shoulders. Then they do a deep dive about finger etiquette and games: why does it bother us, how do we address bad behavior, and what are the most common mistakes. Shots will be fired. Takes will be hot.
In episode 189, we take a deep dive into Board Game Arena and discuss games that we think are best on that online platform and games that are way better on a physical table. We also discuss a listener poll about how frequently you take turns on online board game platforms and give a huge shoutout to our BGA Community.
