  1. I did aerospace at Illinois (late 80s). One day we had an Alum visit who had just completed a study on terraforming Mars. his conclusion was forget it. Planets are just massive systems. We just forget that the Earth is so big that it looks flat from most perspectives. He introduced us to some basic concepts that I now refer to as planetary mechanics. Kind of nuts and bolts stuff. Like how many tons of air do we need to cover Mars in a layer of air 1km thick and then warm that much air form -60C to +20C. Its the kind of stuff before you consider the dynamics (how stuff works over time) of the planet rotating and absorbing heat from the sun and discharging it out into space. Just before COVID I was at a space conference (in Australia) where there was a senior Bureau of Meteorology scientist who told us that at 1.5C we will have to start geoengineering. That snapped my brain back to 1987 in Champaign where I was told that's impossible. I got his card and called him a few days later. Yes we have inadvertently geoengineered the plant. Where that takes us is not sure. What the NASA guy said 35 years ago is that planets are semi-stable systems that have their own natural rhythms and they don't like being pushed out of those rhythms. Think of it like pushing a child on a swing that has a set frequency and amplitude and you try and force it abruptly into another frequency and amplitude - it will resist and push back. I'm Australian and this year after several years of drought and bushfires we are now experiencing our worst flood year ever. We've had some towns flooded 3 times before even starting winter. Some say its normal, others the apocalypse. Me I see it as the planet pushing back against what we're doing and the harder we push the harder it will push back and its roughly 6,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 tons (21 zeros) of rock doing almost 30,000 meters per second around a star. Its a big object and its going to do what it wants. We can either stop pushing or get rolled. My prof was a Boilermaker.
