"Transforming Mars and the Moon into Earth-like Planets: The Space Race Continues"

Terraforming is the hypothetical process of altering a planet or moon to be Earth-like enough to support human life. Mars is generally considered the most viable candidate for terraforming, due to its relative closeness to Earth, both in terms of distance and other characteristics. To make Mars habitable for humans today, we’d need to change a lot about the planet, including its thin atmosphere, lack of magnetic fields, and wild temperature fluctuations. Other potential candidates for terraforming include Venus and the moon, but all proposals are still in the early stages and would require significant resources and time to achieve.
