My dream of terraforming Mars may be crushed by physics. The planet might be too small to sustain an atmosphere, with escape velocity being low. Damn. This might make me cry.

To dull the pain, I bought cds for the first time in almost a year. David Bowie's new Heathen and Our Lady Peace's Clumsy. I don't think the new Our Lady Peace album is out yet. They are however, playing July 17th at Stubb's and I am determined to get tickets.

Slowly cleaning the apartment. I have moved lots ot things out of the living room, and picked up all the papers scattered about. The kitchen just has a lot of things sitting on the counter. Now if I could only clean my room.

Hm, I thought terraforming Mars was indeed possible, but it would take well over a century to populate the atmosphere with the correct percentages of gases it would take to make it inhabitable, so of course no one will do it because they won't live to see the results.

Just about anything's possible I suppose. The biggest problems with making Mars a hospitable planet are the lack of magnetism, the low pressure/gravity and the temperature. It all comes back to the planet being small, so I haven't found a way to work around that yet. But I will, damn it. :D
