Nasa is ruining every planet one-by-one. First pluto wasn’t a planet. Then neptune is even more boring and stupid than previously thought. Next thing we know, Mars isn’t a planet anymore because planets aren’t red.
A hell-sphere that would be easier to fix than Mars, which is an entirely different type of hell-sphere. Just toss in enough ice to make eventual oceans and some cyanobacteria, and it should calm down in a few hundred thousand years.
Short of an artificial black hole at its center to raise the gravity, I don’t see how we could ever terraform Mars. There’s not enough gravity for anything that evolved here to be healthy there.

Floating cities in the clouds of Venus mining carbon dioxide and nitrogen out of the atmosphere, sending all those excess gases to Mars, the Belt, and the moons of the gas giants for terraforming and habitats.

Maybe looking at it the wrong way. Mars becomes a place to visit. Turn it into an ecosystem full of stuff that can survive the low gravity. Insects and plants. You know after you stripmine it.
Go visit the weird ass nature reserves from your spinning space habitat.
As much as I don’t particularly like the man I think Bezos was right. We already have a place with ideal gravity. The future should be orbiting colonies. Imagine processes that could be done under fully controlled conditions.
Technically the concept of a planet is a social construct. Scientists have been scurrying around redefining the definition of a planet to exclude asteroids ever since they discovered them. Why can’t they just say that the Earth is a wet asteroid and be done with it?
NASA comms office assistant tries to let off steam by visiting Lemmy, sees your comment, has flashbacks to the letters they read from Americans everyday
In all seriousness it was only a few weeks ago that I heard about a teacher in Bangladesh that did actually shoot one of his students in the leg. He apparently always brought a loaded gun into class with him in his bag.
